Declarations
:
: This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the review board of the RIVM Strategic Program of the Dutch national Institute for public health and the environment (RIVM). In addition, a proposal outlining the study methods was reviewed by the review board of Statistics Netherlands, who granted permission for the usage of PHM survey data. Since participants were not subjected to any treatment or intervention, approval by a medical-ethical committee was not required as under the Dutch medical research with human subjects law <i>(Wet medisch-wetenschappelijk onderzoek met mensen (WMO)</i>, article 1, subsection b). The PHM questionnaire used in this study obtained formal consent of all subjects at baseline for the participation in public health studies performed by Statistics Netherlands, RIVM, or other research institutes.
