Declarations
:
: Before enrolment into the survey, dentists and dental students received information which included the purpose of the survey, the criteria for participation, the survey description, utilisation of the information gathered, the survey schedule, a statement of voluntary participation, responsible institutions, contact persons, funding, and how and when results would be reported. It was stressed that all received information would be fully anonymised, and that no names, e-mail addresses, or IP-addresses would be included. No personal data that could be used to identify the survey participant, directly or indirectly, was gathered, and anonymity was assured through the Nettskjema questionnaire tool, provided by the University of Oslo, Norway. As the survey is defined as health services research, an application for ethical approval was not required. However, approval from the Norwegian Centre for Research Data was obtained (Reference: 531007) to ensure that the data was collected, stored, and shared safely and legally according to general data protection regulations.
