Declarations
:
: We consulted the ethics committee CER-VD which granted a waiver for our study with the following motivation in a letter dated <i>2.04.2019, and accordingly the recruitment started in the second trimester of 2019 (from 03/04/2019 onwards)</i>: “Since no personal data related to health is collected, and the population of participants is not recruited on the basis of a diagnosis, the research project does not fall within the scope of application of the LRH (loi fédérale relative à la recherche sur l'être humain) and does not require authorization from the CER-VD (commision ethique de la recherche de l'être humain Suisse du Canton de Vaud).” The full contact details of the relevant ethics committee are the following—Secrétariat scientifique, Commission cantonale (VD) d'éthique de la recherche sur l'être humain, Av. de Chailly 23, 1012 Lausanne, Tel. + 4121 3161836.
