Declarations

:

: The National BioEthics Committee in Iceland indicated there was no need for them to approve this study given that the data were primarily opinions and contained no sensitive medical data. As per Icelandic regulations, we announced the project to the Icelandic National Data Protection Authority who publicized the project. We followed international regulations with respect to informed participant consent for all aspects of the study (i.e., both the survey and focus group aspects). All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. The researchers had no position of authority over the participants and all participation was voluntary. Participation in the survey served as voluntary consent for the survey part of the study and focus group participants signed consent forms indicating their willingness to participate in the discussions and to have the discussions audiotaped. The study was part of a doctoral project approved by the School of Health Sciences at the University of Iceland.
