Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethics approval was obtained for this study from Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Committee (MQ HREC) before any data collection took place (approval no. 5201700539). In the UK, advice regarding ethics approval requirements was sought from the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABM UHB) Research and Development Department. The ABM UHB advised that the ethics approval from a Higher Education Institution (i.e. MQ HREC) was sufficient and additional approval from an NHS Research Ethics Committee was not required for this study. The NHS Health Research Authority (HRA) online decision tool confirmed this. The NHS HRA state that the outcome of this decision tool can be taken as authoritative. We complied fully with NHS HRA guidance. Written consent to participate was obtained from all study participants in both Australia and the UK.
