All the data you have provided via the questionnaires were regrouped with those of other participants. Therefore, it is no longer possible to identify any particular participant. We then analyzed these group data to better understand the ways in which living environments influence young adult Montrealers’ health. We have published these results in scientific journals and we have presented them in conferences to reach as many people as possible.
The ISIS project has many important partners, such as the Direction de santé publique de Montréal, the Institut national de santé publique du Québec, and the Public Health Agency of Canada. With the help of these partners, we will transform these results in interventions and policies to improve the well-being of all Montrealers. Therefore, you contributed directly in improving the quality of life of Montrealers!
Only from time to time and for good reasons! We may contact you to invite you to participate in one of our associated projects. We will not contact you more than three times per year.
We are very aware of the importance of protecting your confidentiality. That is why we take all necessary measures. The ISIS project has been approved by the Comité d’éthique en recherche de l’Université de Montréal, who have very strict norms to protect the interests of research participants. All computer data are kept in password locked files that only the principal investigator and research coordinator can access. All participant lists and data in paper format are kept in locked filing cabinets at the University of Montreal. We also separate your personal information from your questionnaire answers, to maximise confidentiality.
