Declarations
:
: This study was approved by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (NSD), and the reference number of the application is 800636. The committee assessed the application and decided that “the processing of personal data in this project will comply with data protection legislation, presupposing that it is carried out in accordance with the information given in the Notification Form and attachments, dated 08.10.2019. Everything is in place for the processing to begin.” We also sought permission (reference no. 58059) from the regional committee for medical and health research ethics (REK) to interview patients. However, the committee assessed that the project falls outside the scope of the health research act (ACT 2008–06-20 no. 44) and therefore could be conducted without REK’s approval. Following the NSD guidelines, written consent was obtained for each interview, and the data were anonymized and stored on the researcher server of the university at which the project was conducted.
: Written consent for publication was obtained from each of the respondents at the beginning of each interview. The consent to interview and the consent to publish were requested on the same form, on which we explained how the data would be handled, anonymized, and stored, and we informed respondents that these data would be published in the form of scientific articles and would be provided via open access to readers.
