As of September 2021, we are implementing 2 separate prize draws for follow-up questionnaire completion, each draw having a single prize of a £100 Amazon voucher. The draws apply to all individuals who consented and participated in (a) the 6-month questionnaire and/or (b) the 12-month questionnaire. This will not affect the previously implemented voucher reimbursement (£5 Amazon voucher per completed time-point, maximum £15 per person for completing all three questionnaire time-points).
