Data analysis
Every interview was transcribed verbatim and analyzed directly afterwards. The transcrip- tions were subjected to thematic content analysis, inspired by the work of Braun and Clarke.20 Thematic analysis was performed using a constant comparative (iterative) method using the OpenCode application (OpenCode 4.0.2. University of Umeå, Sweden). After every tran- scribed interview, relevant data extracts were selected and coded. New codes were added to the code tree and used in coding of the next transcript. After coding all transcripts, codes were combined into categories using axial coding to match those in the initial topic list, if appropriate. Newly identified categories were added to the list. The data were selectively coded to bring previously defined categories together into themes to see the bigger picture.
Transcripts were anonymized before coding. After completion of the study, data that could trace to an individual subject, including audio recordings, were discarded.
