Note: Pre-existing client characteristics that were assessed as relevant in the first Delphi-round were not re-assessed in the second Delphi-round
aCharacteristics were selected from the client characteristics suggested by the participants in survey A. These were assessed in survey B (in Delphi-round 1b) and re-assessed in survey C
