Inclusion criteria: None
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: We will generally include and analyse all datasets that provide responses to the primary outcome. We will exclude all participants who completed the survey in fewer than 2 minutes indicating a lack of seriousness reading the instructions and responding to the questions. If data provide evidence for differential exclusion (i.e., if fast respondents are disproportionately found in the intervention groups), we will perform sensitivity analyses to see the impact of fast respondents on the results. We will also exclude all participants who answer "no" to the statement "I have answered the questions conscientiously so that they can be used for the analyses" asked at the end of the survey
