Myer, Mike Davison, Mick Hughes and Matthew Buckthorpe have no conflicts of interest that are directly relevant to the content of this article.
: Ethics approval was obtained from the STHS Ethics Committee of St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London, UK (SMU_ETHICS_2023-24_366).
: Participants were informed about the nature of the study, the research team, the data management process and additional information via the participants information sheet, a downloadable document included in the first page of the survey. Key information was also summarised in the survey’s opening page, where participants were encouraged to download and carefully read the information sheet before participating. Collecting a written consent would have required participants to disclose personal identifiers information such as their name, compromising in this way the anonymity of the survey. Therefore, consent was implied through the voluntary completion and submission of the survey rather than being collected in written form.
: Not applicable.
: The dataset collected and analysed during the study are not publicly available. However, because of the anonymous nature of the survey, the data are completely anonymised and can be made available by the corresponding author in the case of a reasonable request.
: Not applicable.
: AC, SP and MB contributed to the study conception and design. Material preparation was addressed by AC and MB, with a revision by all the other authors. The whole team was involved in the distribution of the survey. AC, MB and SdP supported the analysis and interpretation of results. The first draft of the manuscript was written by AC and MB, and all authors commented on previous versions of the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
