The second phrase is correct. To see that, we can replace the plural nouns by singular ones: "mom's, dad's and my opinion" sounds way better than "mom, dad and my opinion". In the first sentence, it seems like you are juxtaposing the users and the carers (two groups of people), with opinions (in this case the opinions of the students).

#2. Although, should the third word be "diagnostic"?
