Declarations
:
: The protocol was validated by the Cantonal Ethics Committee (protocol #2022 − 01130). Informed consent was obtained from all the participants. Participants in this study were provided with an information sheet on the homepage of the questionnaire. This information sheet adhered to the ethical guidelines established by the ethics committee. It clearly outlined the purpose of the study, the procedures involved, and the rights of the participants. By proceeding with the questionnaire and answering the questions, participants provided their tacit consent to participate in the study. Participants were also informed that they could withdraw from the study at any time, with the option to delete their already entered responses. In Switzerland, according to the Federal Act on Research involving Human Beings (Human Research Act, HRA), young people aged 14 and over can consent to participate in research on their own if the research presents only minimal risks and burdens, which is the case for this study.
