Declarations

:

: As this anonymous survey did not request respondents to report any identifying information (name, date of birth etc.) and does not aim to provide new knowledge about health and disease, it is not considered to be health research in Norway and therefore not in need of approval from The Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics due to the following guidelines:“Examples of activities that do not require approval from RECUse of otheranonymous informationand assessments of health conditions. Anonymous information means information in which names, personal identification numbers and other unique characteristics are removed so that data can no longer be linked to an individual (section 2 of the Health Registry Act) [, ]”.As the anonymity of the participants was essential, consent to participate was therefore given by positive response to the interviewer’s questions about participation.
