Declarations
:
: All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines regarding survey studies. Survey participants were adults (at least 18 years old) who gave verbal informed consent to voluntary participation in the survey. Results are reported so that individual participants cannot be identified. The survey study in Sweden, including the procedure with verbal informed consent, was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board at the University of Gothenburg (decision number 714–16). For Norway and Denmark, no ethical approval was needed since individual participants cannot be identified and the researchers have not had direct contact with the respondents. For Norway see § 4d in the law “Helseforskningsloven” and REK committee ; for Denmark see the law “komitélovens” § 14, stk.2.
