Declarations
:
: The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is responsible for the data collection by Norwegian Counties Public Health Surveys and a Data Protection Impact Assessment was completed before data collection. The survey was also approved by the Norwegian Data Inspectorate. In addition, the overarching project for this current study was approved by the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics (REK; file no. 162353/2020). The data collection followed the regulations in the Personal Health Data Filing System Act, and all personal identification variables were removed before data were delivered to the researchers in this study. Data storing and processing are in compliance with applicable personal data protection regulation. The online survey began with an introductory page that included information about the study’s purpose and a consent form, which respondents had to “click” and agree to before they were directed to the questionnaire.
