A total of 9,240 adolescents participated in the study. This constitutes 94.6&nbsp;% of all students attending school the day of the survey, and 75.5&nbsp;% of the total gross sample. The survey was web-based, and was administered on PCs or tablets in the classroom. A digital survey format allows for flexibility in follow-up questions, and specifically tailored questions for respondents yielding experiences with child abuse and neglect. The survey comprised five thematically distinct parts: 1) background variables, 2) experiences with child abuse and neglect (including physical violence, psychological violence, sexual abuse by adults and peers, and neglect), 3) health, well-being and quality of life, 4) help-seeking experiences, 5) daily functioning as it pertains to sleep and school. We made use of behavior specific questions which is the recommended survey methodology, also in research on child abuse and neglect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"18px\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"18px\">An abbreviated version of the 2019 survey was administered remotely as a web-based survey in May\/June 2020 (wave 2). Children&rsquo;s experiences of the CORONA-virus preventive measures directed towards children were also assessed. 3564 12-16-yar-olds participated, for which 1439 had participated at the first data collection in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"18px\">In May\/June 2021, a third data collection was administered in schools, again as a web-based survey remotely administered. The same topics as covered in 2019 were included in the survey. 3540 12-16-year-olds participated, of which 746 adolescents had participated in 2020 (wave 2) and 521 adolescents participated at all three data collections (wave 1, 2 and 3).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"t2-accordion-item wp-block-t2-accordion-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"t2-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"t2-accordion-trigger\" id=\"further-information\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFurther information\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-closed-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-add\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 19c-.285156 0-.519531-.097656-.710938-.289062C11.097656 18.519531 11 18.285156 11 18v-5H6c-.285156 0-.519531-.097656-.710938-.289062C5.097656 12.519531 5 12.285156 5 12c0-.285156.097656-.519531.289062-.710938C5.480469 11.097656 5.714844 11 6 11h5V6c0-.285156.097656-.519531.289062-.710938C11.480469 5.097656 11.714844 5 12 5c.285156 0 .519531.097656.710938.289062C12.902344 5.480469 13 5.714844 13 6v5h5c.285156 0 .519531.097656.710938.289062C18.902344 11.480469 19 11.714844 19 12c0 .285156-.097656.519531-.289062.710938C18.519531 12.902344 18.285156 13 18 13h-5v5c0 .285156-.097656.519531-.289062.710938C12.519531 18.902344 12.285156 19 12 19Zm0 0\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t2-accordion-icon is-open-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-remove\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6 13c-.285156 0-.519531-.097656-.710938-.289062C5.097656 12.519531 5 12.285156 5 12c0-.285156.097656-.519531.289062-.710938C5.480469 11.097656 5.714844 11 6 11h12c.285156 0 .519531.097656.710938.289062C18.902344 11.480469 19 11.714844 19 12c0 .285156-.097656.519531-.289062.710938C18.519531 12.902344 18.285156 13 18 13Zm0 0\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-accordion-item__inner-container is-layout-flow\" id=\"accordion-panel-2\" aria-labelledby=\"further-information\" role=\"region\" hidden>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"no-repeat;border-box;19px\">The study was made possible because of a change in the Norwegian law of health research (<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"no-repeat;border-box;19px\">Helseforskningsloven<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"no-repeat;border-box;19px\">&nbsp;&sect; 17)<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"no-repeat;border-box;19px\">&nbsp;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\" style=\"no-repeat;border-box;19px\">allowing children from the age of 12 years to participate in health research without parental or guardian consent.
