Declarations

:

: This study was performed in line with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. FIOH’s Ethical Review Board has conceded that in Finland, according to national legislation, research projects based on register data that carry no personal identifiers are exempt from ethical review. The Brain Work data used in this study fulfilled these criteria. Nevertheless, the Board reviewed the study plan and assessed that the research group had carried out a thorough and sufficient evaluation of possible ethical and data security risks and prepared a plan for minimising these risks and the impact of possible adverse events.

: Prior to administering the survey, the respondents were informed that their responses would be combined to form an anonymous data set to be used by FIOH for research and development purposes only.

: The authors have no competing interests to declare that are relevant to the content of this article.
