<p>As with the main survey, the overall mechanism for gaining consent for participation in the COVID-19 Study is by answering the study's questions. At the start of the study, prenotification letters were sent to sample members inviting them to participate in the COVID-19 study. The prenotification letters explained the purpose of the COVID-19 study and what respondents were asked to do. Respondents were told the invitation to the Study would be sent out by email and/or SMS text message, depending on which contact information we held about them. The letters emphasised that the study was voluntary. Thus, choosing to take part in the survey and submitting their responses is taken as an agreement to take part. Participants also had the right to withdraw their participation, and have their data deleted if they changed their mind later.</p>
