Declarations

:

: While the Declaration of Helsinki primarily addresses medical research conducted by physicians and is therefore not directly relevant to this qualitative study; exploring allied health professional perspectives, it has adhered to the core ethical principles regarding human subjects research, including informed consent, voluntary participation, confidentiality, and minimisation of harm. The study received ethical approval from Auckland University of Technology Ethics Committee (AUTEC 18/424). All participants gave online informed consent to participate via a Qualtrix survey, followed by verbal consent at the commencement of the recorded interview. This included consent for their data to be analysed and included in research reports.
