Compliance with ethical standards

: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: The research protocol for the study was approved by the Australian Government Department of Health Human Research Ethics Committee, and The University of Western Australia Human Research Ethics Committee. Therefore, the study was performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments. With permission from their parent or carer, the young person aged 14–17 years was given a copy of the Youth Information Brochure, reassured that their responses would be confidential and asked if they would like to participate. Consenting youth were given the use of a CASI tablet computer and, wherever possible, completed the questionnaire in private at the same time that the parent or carer was being interviewed in person.
