Declarations
:
: The evaluation was submitted to the Regional Ethical Committee, Stockholm (Dnr: 2017/491–31/4). (The Committee considered the project to be an evaluation research study and therefore no ethical approval was needed). All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations in the Ethical Declarations (see method section).Prior to the training session, information e-mails including study aim and ethical aspects were sent to all participants. In the questionnaires, and before participation in an FGD, participants were informed that participation was voluntary and anonymous and that they had the right to withdraw at any time without giving any reason. All participants gave an informed consent verbally to JMT. JTM collected all quantitative data by approaching training participants prior to the start of the training, where she described the questionnaires, and informed them that by completing the questionnaire, they agreed that data obtained would be used and published under anonymity. After the oral presentation at the start of the training program and before each FGD, the participants in agreement were asked to give their informed consent verbally. FGD confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, however, although all informants agreed not to repeat what was said during the group discussion to others. None of the participants were under the age of 18. Informants in the FGDs received two cinema tickets. All quotes were anonymized.
