Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study was based on interviews with principal investigators who were interviewed in connection with published studies that were included in an intervention study database. This type of study does not merit approval from an ethical board in Sweden (Ethical Review Act, Section 3 and 4,ExternalRef removed). Nevertheless, participants were treated in accordance with ethical guidelines. Participation was voluntary and could be withdrawn at any time. Informed consent was provided orally, and reinforced through a series of steps through the recruitment process. First, participants were approached by email, informed about the study in writing and invited to participate. A time point for telephone interviews were then agreed upon (either over emails or phone), again confirming that participation was voluntary. Lastly, participants orally confirmed their informed consent to participate before the interviews.
