Methodology

Savanta ComRes interviewed 1,046 people with a mark, scar or condition that makes them look different online between 23rd October and 11th November 2019. Data were weighted to be representative of those with a mark, scar or condition that makes them look different by age, gender and region. This weighting scheme was sourced from a nationally representative public omnibus survey run between the 22nd and 24th March 2019.
