Declarations
:
: The research was approved by the Republic of Slovenia National Medical Ethics Committee, Ministry of Health (Number: 0120–73/2019/6). The National Medical Ethics Committee approved the survey procedure performed by the Public Opinion and Mass Communication Research Centre of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Ljubljana. As this is a general social science survey and the results of the survey are anonymous, the national position in Slovenia is that oral consent to participate in the survey is sufficient and no special ethical assessment of the method of consent is required. Prior to the interviewer’s visit, respondents received a letter about the purpose of the questionnaire, the possibility of refusal to participate in the survey, anonymity, and their protection with the General Data Protection Regulation.
