Frequently Asked Questions

If my patient is allocated to the control (usual care) arm, can I still give them the CV risk reduction intervention?

All patients randomized to the control (usual care) can receive the CV risk reduction intervention after the end of the 6-month follow-up period.

Am I able to use a web-based program and enter patients’ information into the program in my pharmacy?

This project has been approved by the University of Alberta ethics board. All data are securely stored on University-owned, firewalled, and password-protected servers. Only you will have access to patients’ identifiable information (e.g., name, age etc). Researchers will only have access to a patient-identifer number and will have access to no patient identifiable information.

What do I do if my patient is lost to follow-up or moves to another province, or I’m unable to follow-up with my patient for another reason?
