Declarations
:
: The Human Research Ethics Committee of The University of Melbourne approved the study on May 28, 2019 (ID1852648.3). All potential respondents received written information (i.e., a Plain Language Statement) explaining the purpose of the study and what participation involved. Respondents were allowed to provide written or verbal consent, and all respondents provided informed consent. Eleven respondents returned their written consent form via email prior to or at the time of interview. Four respondents who did not return their written consent form via email, indicated via email that they consented to participate in the context of organising their interview and subsequently provided verbal consent which was recorded at the time of interview. In addition, all respondents were asked at the time of interview if they were still willing and consenting to be interviewed for the study, irrespective of previously having provided written consent. These procedures for obtaining written and verbal consent met the criteria for consent as approved by our research ethics committee.
