Outcomes
RECRUITMENT
The primary outcome for this study is the response rate at end of recruitment. A medical practitioner was considered to have responded if they returned their survey (via mail or completing online) with Section A completed which included questions on whether they were currently participating in clinical practice and at least one question answered from Section B. Surveys returned blank were counted as refusals to participate. The response rate was calculated as the total number of responses divided by the total number of surveys distributed (minus surveys that could not be sent by the mailing house because the doctor was deceased or had no valid mailing address).
