Note that a small number of individual datasets used in the Bolam et al. (2023) study are not publicly available and have therefore been withheld from this doi. These withheld datasets are not created nor owned by Cefas. These datasets are listed in the accompanying file 'withheld_surveys.csv'. To obtain these withheld datasets (in order to replicate the analyses undertaken in Bolam et al. (2023)), please contact the data owner as listed in the table. Cefas will then allow access to such withheld data where it can be shown that permission has been obtained from the data owner. All publicly available data pertaining to this doi are made available under the terms of an ‘Open Government Licence’ `https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/`_ .
