Ethics Statement. This analysis was undertaken as part of a Master of Public Health thesis, approved by the Epidemiology Department within the Xxxxxxx School of Public Health at Emory University. The data was collected through cross-sectional, nationally representative surveys and anonymized before publication through ICAP at Columbia University; therefore, informed consent was not required to conduct this analysis. All PHIA survey protocols were reviewed and approved by the CDC Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Columbia University Medical Center IRB, and the IRB in each country with informed consent obtained prior to participation in PHIA surveys.

Ethics Statement. The use of data on this project strictly adhered to ethical standards required by the National Institute of Health (NIH). In addition to upholding ethical principles in con- ducting this work, we believe this work contributes to professional standards for rigor in the field. In particular, we expect that this paper will facilitate fair comparison of various annotation tasks or sys- tems and reduce random chance agreement caused by different annotation styles and metrics. Chance agreement can also be used as a quantitative aid to measure the difficulty of annotation task. This provides a new perspective for evaluating different annotation tasks.
Ethics Statement. Study protocols were approved by the CDC Institutional Review Board as well as Ugandan and Ethiopian ethical review committees. Adult study participants were enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Children were enrolled after obtaining parental/guardian permission and assent when age-appropriate.
Ethics Statement. Ethical approval was not required as this study relied on secondary anonymised data collected in the context of performing statutory tasks (Public Health Act of the Netherlands), in strict accordance with the national standard. At no point in time did the datasets contain direct identifiers. Codes to track response were removed from paper questionnaires directly upon receipt and processed separately, as were online access codes. The risk of re-identification of individuals from indirect identifiers such as age (in years) and sex, was very low. The datasets are freely available for non-commercial research purposes. We conducted secondary analysis on data of four public health surveys that were collected in 2008 by the local Community Health Services in the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, using a uniform research methodology. The content of the questionnaires was only dissimilar for items that were selected according to local policy priorities. In each city an a select sample was drawn from the non-institutionalised population aged 16 years and older, stratified by district, neighbourhood, age and ethnicity. A total of 42,686 persons received a questionnaire by mail. These questionnaires could be filled out in writing or via the Internet. Non-responders received a reminder after two weeks. In addition, difficult to reach groups such as non-Western immigrants and residents of deprived neighbourhoods were contacted after four weeks by telephone or home visit and invited to participate by mail or personal interview in the language preferred by the respondent. For Turkish respondents, the main non-Dutch speaking minority in the Netherlands, a translated questionnaire was available. The overall response rate was 50% (20,877 respondents) and ranged between 47% in Rotterdam and 54% in Utrecht. Despite the intensive follow-up, the response was lower among difficult to reach groups. Through oversampling these groups were still well represented in each of the four studies. [11]. In line with the age standard for public health surveys in the Netherlands, we limited our analyses to respondents aged 19 years and older (19,658 respondents). Following the SCP procedures, we applied non-linear canonical correlation analysis (OVERALS) to the different sets of survey data. OVERALS is an optimal scaling technique developed by the University of Leiden, which is available in the SPSS software package. Canonical correlation analysis is often used to explore...
