: Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Lab: Ethical Analysis, Consultation and Monitoring of Scientific Research Projects and Clinical Trials (former SACE: Serviço de Análise e Consultoria Ética de Projetos de Investigação Científica e Ensaios Clínicos) of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa [Ref.08.2015]. As the study involved minors (i.e., the participant teenagers), a few specific ethical procedures were followed and ensured. Parents were informed and consented teenagers to be engaged in the education-research process about palliative care. Verbal parental consent was acquired for participants under 18 years of age for participation in the study. Further ethics procedures are thoroughly described in the methods section.
