Declarations
:
: According to the Act concerning the Ethical Review of Research Involving Humans (Act 2003:460), parents must be informed and must consent to research that includes children under the age of 15. The study is based on the passive consent of the parents, i.e. we informed the parents with a letter that their children would be invited to participate in the study, and asked those parents who did not want their children to participate to inform us of this via e-mail, post or telephone. All students were informed about the study both verbally and in writing prior to the initiation of the data collection process. Among the students themselves, the study is based on active consent, with the participating students showing their consent by completing and sending in the questionnaire. The study has been assessed and approved by the Regional Ethics Review Board in Lund (application no. 2016/88). The Regional Ethics Review Board in Lund approved the opt-out consent process.
