Declarations
:
: The independent research ethics committee of Canton Zurich confirmed that ethical approval was not required for this PPI project. The active involvement of patients or members of the public does not generally raise any ethical concerns for the people who are actively involved, as they are not acting in the same way as research participants. They are acting as specialist advisers, providing valuable knowledge and expertise based on their experience of a health condition or public health concern. Therefore, ethical approval is not needed for the active involvement element of the research, where people are involved in planning or advising on research.
: Not applicable.
