Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors report no conflict of interests.
: This statement outlines the TREE Study’s compliance with ethical standards: “When the TREE1 cohort was launched, approval by an ethics committee or review board was not required and not common practice in Switzerland. However, the study has, from its very beginning, explicitly adhered to research methods that strictly follow professional ethical guidelines and good scientific practice. Today, TREE data collection, treatment and publication complies strictly and formally with Swiss ethical and data protection legislation”.
: This is the TREE Study’s statement regarding informed consent: “Students who participated in PISA 2000 had been asked their explicit consent to be contacted by TREE for a follow-up survey. Students were informed in advance about the purpose and scope of the TREE study and that participation was strictly voluntary. Data are thoroughly anonymized before publication”.
