| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Children who meet the determined in- and exclusion criteria will receive an information letter including a registration form, which they can send to the University. Children who send back the registration form will be contacted to make an appointment. Control participants will be approached on the matter by secondary schools (e.g., Maastricht, Heerlen and Sittard). We will make an appointment with the headmaster(s) to explain our study and to ask for permission to hand-out information letters and registration forms in the classes . The students can send the form back to the university if they want to participate and will afterwards be contacted. | — |
