The study was conducted by Kaila Putter, James Rees, Dr Amanda Krause, Dr Dan Miller (James Cook University) and Dr Amy Belfi (Missouri University of Science and Technology). This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (ID: H8370 and H9420). If you have any questions about the study, please contact Dr Amanda Krause.
