The research team had no direct contact with participants in this survey, and their identities were unknown to the team. Ethical approval by an NHS research ethics committee was not required. The College Ethics Review Board at the University of Aberdeen advised that it was the responsibility of Ipsos Mori, the company conducting the research, to ensure that the survey was conducted in an ethical manner. Ipsos Mori complies with a number of relevant industry quality standards including ISO 27001:2005, the international standard for information security which governs the transfer, storage and destruction of personal data.
