Chocolate Scorecard survey first received ethics approval in 2022 from the Humanities and Social Science (HASS) Human Research Ethics committee from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia (The Open University, UK and University of Wollongong, Australia also participated and were part of the ethics approval process). This process ensures the research is honest, rigorous, transparent, respectful, protects participants, and demonstrates that the research team has adhered to the highest contemporary ethical standards of a genuine research study involving human participants. Sensitive research data is stored on a secure SharePoint platform per the Research Data Sensitivity, Security and Storage Guidelines of Macquarie University.
This research has been conducted following Human Research Ethics Committee guidelines under the project titled:
- The Chocolate Scorecard, project ID 10917, 2022, from Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia;
