Declarations
:
: Consent was freely obtained before the survey commenced. All participants were informed they could skip any questions they did not wish to answer. After survey completion, participants were fully debriefed about the aim of the study and their random allocation to one of four vignettes. As an incentive, participants had the chance to win one of four $25 Amazon vouchers. To maintain anonymity, participants provided their email addresses in a separate file, ensuring the main data set remained anonymous and non-identifiable. The deidentified data set was saved in a password protected secure server held at the University. All procedures complied with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) guidelines for ethical research conducted in Australia. Ethical approval was obtained from the Human Research Ethic Committee at the University of Canberra (ID: 13838).
: The three authors declare there are no conflicts of interest relating to this project.There are no other identifying information related to the three authors, or to the University of Canberra, including the Faculty of Health small project funds, or the University of Canberra Human Research Ethics committee, that compromise the integrity of the work, or create issue with anonymity.
