Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study protocol was approved by the Medical Ethical Committee of the VU University Medical Centre, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. All procedures performed in studies involving 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. Written informed consent was obtained from all Dutch participants, i.e. from parents of all children, and from children and adolescents aged 13 years and older. Secondary analysis of the existing anonymised UK FVQ_CYP dataset did not require ethics approval. The data were drawn from the original development and psychometric study which involved individual consent to participation and was approved by the National Health Service Research Ethics Committee for UCL Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital, United Kingdom, and followed the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.
