: Not applicable
: Study 1 was subjected to an application for ethical approval from the Research Ethics Authority [Etikprövningsmyndigheten], Decision No. 2017/456-31. The decision stated that the Research Ethics Act (SFS 2003:460) was not applicable to the project, and the Authority declared that they did not find any ethical problems with the intended research. As Study 2 was a direct replication of Study 1, no additional application was made.
: All participants were provided with written information describing the aim of the study, how the study was carried out, and how data was to be handled and reported. It was stressed that participation was voluntary and anonymous. It was explicitly mentioned that by turning to the next page (or returning the paper version of the questionnaire in the pre-paid envelope) they consented to participation. By this procedure, the participants consented to both participation and publication.
