Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interests.
: All procedures performed in our study which involved human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Furthermore, our study was approved by the education authority (“Landesschulamt”) of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, which is responsible for verifying whether ethical and juridical aspects of studies in school students are observed. Additionally, every single school administration has to confirm participation before the approval. If these conditions are not fulfilled, such studies will not be authorized to be carried out. To our knowledge, however, the education authority has no particular ethics committee.
