You will find QR codes for the questionnaires on a poster when you arrive at the accommodation.The survey takes about 3-5 minutes to answer. You will receive feedback on your answers after each time you answer and send the answers. Submitted answer means that you consented to participating.
You who are the parent of children between 4 and 14 years old need to approve that your child is included in the study, if there are two parents then both must approve. NOTE Important! A written consent for your child’s participation is available at the reception, so ask for it there and leave the signed consent in the locked box marked with the study and located at reception. Only the responsible researcher can then see that your child has participated in the study. However, we cannot link it to any answer.
