Doctoral Research 

This page reflects key components of my doctoral research and is maintained as an archive of the project and its knowledge outputs. While the study has now concluded and is no longer recruiting participants, the page remains available to share findings, resources, and materials that may be useful to researchers, practitioners, and community partners interested in this work.

This study received approval from the University of Ottawa Research Ethics Board, ensuring that all procedures met ethical standards for the protection, safety, and confidentiality of participants.

Informed consent materials were designed to provide clear, accessible information about the study, including confidentiality protections, voluntary participation, and available support resources.

Participants reviewed and electronically agreed to a detailed consent form outlining the purpose of the study, participation requirements, potential risks, and their right to withdraw at any time.

Data were collected through an anonymous online survey that prioritized participant privacy and safety; the survey is now closed as the project has concluded.
