Data entry at each site will be performed using nominative information and coded specific to the institution (hospital ID number). In addition, each subject's provincial health insurance number will be entered and a unique identifier will be assigned (for instance BC_000001; QC_000001 and so on). As FH is highly familial by nature, parents, sibs and all first-degree relatives of each subject will also be entered, if known. While each subject will have a distinct identifier, family relationships will be recorded. Completely anonymous data will be made available to researchers, policy makers, governments and industry on a per need basis. Physicians at each site will be able to retrieve the information pertinent to their site only. Access to the database will be granted after investigators have submitted a written request to the Scientific Board and clearance will be given in consultation with the Advisory Board. Both levels of government (provincial and National) will be given similar access, as will the pharmaceutical industry and the biopharmaceutical industry.
