Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics, South East (REK Sør-Øst) assessed the IDDEAS application and concluded that “the project falls outside the scope of the Health Research Act, cf. section 2, and can therefore be implemented without approval of REK” (reference number: 2018–2186, 09/10/2019). As per recommendation of REK, the IDDEAS research team will submit a risk analysis/Risikovurdering (ROS) to Helse Midt-Norge IT and a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) to the local data protection officer, Datatilsynet. Confirmation of approval will be required prior to receiving access to data. Prior to participation in the evaluation written consent will be obtained from all participants by the project leader. Participants will be informed their participation is voluntary and they can withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.
