Survey implementation

Physicians from across Canada were invited to participate in an electronic survey through a collection of publicly available email addresses used by the research team in previous surveys [9] This includes members of the Canadian Association of Medical Oncologists and the Canadian Association of Radiation Oncologists. Oncology nurses affiliated with The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre were approached directly to participate in the survey by study team members. Additional nursing participants were also invited to participate through the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology (CANO) membership email pool. Participants received a survey invitation, a survey link, and a study information sheet. A reminder notice was sent out to all potential participants two weeks after the initial invitation. Participants completed the survey through Microsoft Forms, which was available on a protected server at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Completion of the survey implied consent to participate. This survey was approved by the Ontario Cancer Research Ethics Board (OCREB).
