snowball sampling method, we ask people do do the survey and we ask them to find people
they know to do the survey as well.

We got people to take the survey by sending them the survey on a Link via email. We asked
them to do the survey, however we could not make them do the survey. The option was solely
on them if they decided to take the survey or not.
o Explain how the participants were compensated.
