Declarations
:
: The project was reviewed by the Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research ethics (REK) of South-East Norway (2018/1108/REK sør-øst C, 27.06.2018). The committees then concluded that the project did not fall under the Health research law, and that it could be carried out without approval from the REK Committee. Thereafter, on 17.08.2018, the project was approved by the Norwegian Center for Research Data (ref.nb. 304080) – which has the ethics/IRB capacity to approve studies, such as this one, on humans. All methods used in the study were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. All participants agreed to participate in the study and signed an informed consent form before data collection. The consent form included a description of the study and its aims, and of the participants’ involvement and their rights. All participants approved of their interviews to be audio recorded.
