^aPercentage ‘Contact occurred? (yes)’ is calculated for those who responded to have a need for GP involvement and filled in the question ‘Contact occurred?’. Denominators vary for this question and are slightly lower than the total number of patients who indicated to have a need for GP involvement, due to missing data (i.e. not all respondents filled in the follow-up question ‘Contact occurred’). Further information is available from the authors on request ^bEducation is categorised as high (university or higher professional education), middle (secondary education), and low (primary education or no education).
