An electronic cross-sectional semi-structured survey distributed across the UK via social media (twitter) between September and December 2016.
The electronic survey was created by the authors using the Bristol Online Survey platform which collects responses into a database and records IP addresses to prevent multiple responses from any one internet connection. The survey consisted of 18 questions, 11 of them closed, specifically designed for this study. The questions about safety issues were consciously open due to the broad range of potential safety issues identified both in the literature and during initial consultations with stakeholders.
Participants were routed in one of three different ways depending on whether they primarily identified as a service user, carer or professional.
Approval for the study was granted by the University of Leeds, School of Healthcare Research Ethics Committee (ref. HREC15-059). Information was provided about the survey and sources of support at the beginning of the survey and consent was implied by completion and submission of the survey.
