Notes

For the first survey, we allowed people to identify with multiple categories (e.g., patient, healthcare provider), so some people chose more than one option. For the second survey, respondents could choose only one option. We also included the category of “know someone who has had surgery/anesthesia,” which is separate from the categories of patients and carers.
