Declarations
:
: <i>Employment</i> Erik van Rietschoten is employed by an insurance firm. <i>Financial interests</i> To avoid appearance of conflict of interest, Erik van Rietschoten took initiative to renounce the employer's regular study costs reimbursement scheme for his doctoral studies and then financed this study from personal resources. <i>Non-financial interests</i> The professional experience of the researcher may have been advantageous in terms of easier access to data. We tried to maintain objectivity, but cannot rule out some element of researcher bias. However, since the second author had no links to the insurance industry and was able to offer a distanced perspective, we believe that any possible bias has been overcome. Koen van Bommel has neither conflicts of interest to declare that are relevant to the content of this article, nor relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.
