Declarations
:
: Prior to conducting the INSPIRE Population survey, the ethical approval was requested to the Ethics Commission Northwestern and Central Switzerland (Ethikkommission Nordwest- und Zentralschweiz – EKNZ). The EKNZ declared that the study was not subject to cantonal and federal legislation, as it was not considered a research study as defined by the Human Research Act Art. 2. Therefore, the EKNZ did not issue a formal ethical approval but concluded that the study did meet the general ethical principles for research involving human beings (cf. Art. 51 para. 2 Human Research Act). The methods used in this study were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations and an informed consent was obtained from all participants in the study.
: As this is a secondary analysis of the INSPIRE Population survey, the approval of the ethics committee for the present study was not required.
: Not applicable.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
