The survey instrument was initially drafted from an amalgamation of tables of contents of several current textbooks in toxicology, and subsequently refined by discussions among committee members to create a pilot survey.

We then inductively analysed the categories for recurring themes based on frequency and salience (or agreement among participants), in discussion with LL. 29 30 After initial analysis, emerging themes and subthemes were refined through discussion within the research team, consisting of experienced social scientists, clinicians and medical informaticists.
The final list was refined through discussion, grouping of concepts to avoid redundancy, and feedback from other working group members not present at the initial discussion.
TJS and LJS conceived the study and drafted the protocol and study questionnaire, which were subsequently refined in discussion with GG.
The coding was carried out by two coders independently (the authors) and then the emergent themes were compared and refined in discussion.
