Ethics approval and consent to participate
: There is no formal institution for ethical assessment and approval of questionnaire-based population studies in Denmark. The X:IT II study is registered at the Danish Data Protection Agency, ref.: 2015-57-0008. When inviting the schools to participate, principals at the schools received written information about the study. Parents were informed that they could have their child withdrawn from the database, and pupils were informed that completion of questionnaires was optional and that any information they provided would be treated with confidence.Before conducting observations and interviews all participants will be informed about the aim of the study. This goes for teachers, students and their parents. As most of the students are minors (under the age of 16) parents will be informed about the qualitative data collections from teachers, and informed that they can have their child withdrawn from participation (passive consent). Teachers and students will be assured that participation is voluntary and that results will be treated with confidence. All participants will be asked to provide their written, voluntary and informed consent before participation in the interviews. Students will provide their own written consent. Non-identifiability will be ascertained by assigning each participant with a code in the field notes and interviews. Only persons who are part of the research team will have access to data.
