I don't know if you are accepting feedback but...by not allowing people to select an age younger that 16 for when they started to s/h you are giving yourself inaccurate data. I would have chosen younger if it was possible, I'm sure from other people's stories here that others also started younger.

Also, some of your preset answers are really limiting and force people to choose an answer that doesn't fit, just fits better than the others. That might give you great data for your write up...but won't tell you anything in real terms.

I PM'ed them about the age when you started SH'ing and said that it's going to give them inaccurate results. I think there's quite a few of us that started before we were 16.

Hello,

Unfortunately due to our ethics committee legal procedures I had restrictions in what I could ask and what answer options I could give including the age option.  I understand that the age of onset can be at a very young age (before 16) and so I apologize for this.  I will make this a point in my thesis as result.
