: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. The study received approval from the Regional Ethical Review Board in Umeå, Department of Medical Research (Regionala etikprövningsnämnden i Umeå avdelningen för medicinsk forskning); EPN 2015/186–31 and EPN 2016/502–32. In Sweden, the Regional Ethical Boards were previously affiliated with the faculty of medicine at regional universities until 2004. Between 2004 and 2019, the Regional Ethical Boards operated as independent authorities. However, starting from January 1, 2019, applications for ethical review of research are overseen by the new Swedish Ethical Review Authority.Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. The respondents were informed about the research project and that completion of the web-based survey was accepted as consent.
