Timeframe
The interviews will be held around April/ May 2019. However, if you have any questions or doubts you can address them at any time.

Your answers will be written down and anonymized. That includes the change of names, cities and all other information that could lead to your identification. Your questionnaire can only be connected to your answers, not to your name. You will receive a copy of the privacy and data consent form.
