Declarations
:
: The Stockholm Regional Ethical Review Board issued a consultative statement stating that no ethical approval was needed as the information collected was not considered personally sensitive (ref. no. 2012/1695-31/5). Participation in the interviews was voluntary and the managers were asked to give about one hour of their time to the interview. All participants were informed of the purpose of the study and that they could end the interview whenever they wanted without explaining why; all provided their informed consent for study participation. Participants were not compensated for their participation but Swedish “fika” was provided by the research interviewers at each focus group occasion.
