Declarations
:
: The Swedish Act concerning the Ethical Review of Research Involving Humans (2003:460) defines the type of studies which requires an ethics approval. In line with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/67), the act is applicable for studies that collect personal data that reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union membership, religious or philosophical beliefs, or health and sexual orientation. The present study does not involve any of the above, why no formal ethical permit was required. The ethical aspects of the project and its compliance with the guidelines of the Swedish Research Council (2017) were also part of the review process at the project´s public funding agency Forte.
