Data Collection and Management
The data collection phase was managed by the NAAF’s IT infrastructure. Their familiarity of members with the sender’s email address would reduce the risk of emails being misdirected to the spam folder and complied with the General Data Protection Regulation and the national regulations of not sharing information about members with another organization. The data collection lasted from June 1, 2021, through June 9, 2021.Emails sent to the NAAF members contained 1 of the 12 videos, and a link leading to 1 of the 12 surveys created on the SurveyMonkey platform. The data collection was anonymous by enabling this option in SurveyMonkey, and therefore the IP addresses of respondents were not collected. The email addresses were used only for the invitation and were not linked to the collected responses. No personal or sensitive information was asked of respondents.Each response has been attributed a unique identifier, and collected responses were stored in a separate database unlinked from the NAAF members’ database. In order to leave open the opportunity to conduct a longitudinal study with a follow-up after 12 months, respondents were asked to digit their email address in case they wanted to participate further.
