Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study received ethics approval by the Behavioural Research Ethics Board at the University of Saskatchewan. A four-stage informed consent protocol was employed. Written consent was obtained from both School Divisions. Verbal consent was obtained from the Principal of each school. If these consents were obtained, written informed consent was obtained from parents. If the parent approved, written informed consent was obtained from each child prior to starting the survey. Although the four-stage informed consent policy ensured that the children were protected, this extensive consent protocol most likely resulted in lower participation rates.
