Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Health questionnaire | Once a year through study completion. | General health questionnaire including questions about lifestyle, access to health services, comorbidities, mental health, alcohol and drugs consumption. Additional questions regarding more specific themes (Lyme disease, medical aid in dying, COVID-19, etc.) will be added or adapted yearly. Most of the questions are individually based on previously accepted or previously used questionnaires and thus, the health questionnaire used in this project does not include a specific scale of measurement for each subjects. |
