Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- \- Eligible participants are all parents (over 18 years) living with one or more child under 18 years, and/or a child over 18 with special needs (i.e. physical disabilities). All participants are currently living in Norway and thus experiencing identical NPIs, and who had provided digital consent to partake in the study.
- How the participants were reached:
- Given the time-sensitivity of the project and the strict and time-consuming process of getting approval to access registry data, the investigators did not apply for access to registry data (e.g., address, phone or e-mails of the general population), as such data access is highly strict and regulated in Norway and the time-frame of such an application could have encompassed variation in an important variable we wished to hold constant (namely identical NPIs (non-pharmacological interventions) employed over the time-frame of data collection). Thus, the investigators did not apply for registry data, reached out the population through the means elaborated below. The investigators reached out to the general Norwegian population systematically in the following six ways, with the goal of providing the entire adult population an equal opportunity to be exposed to the survey:
- Through broadcasting on the main national news channel of Norway which had nearly 1.1 million viewers at the time of broadcast.
- Using Facebook Business Advertisement where we exposed all adult Norwegian Facebook users (3.6 million; 85% of the Norwegian adult population) with an equal opportunity of being exposed to the survey in a random manner. Our survey reached a random selection of nearly 180 000 of the adult population.
- Broadcasting the survey on national and region radio stations across the country
- Broadcasting about the survey on local radio stations across the country
- Using national newspaper to reach out to participants about the survey
- Using regional and local newspapers to reach out to participants across all regions and counties in Norway.
