Supplementary notes

Original question in the source: 'Many studies have found that virtual care, when it is a clinically appropriate option, produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than in-person care. This is mainly because it reduces the need for patients to travel to care facilities, which reduces vehicle use and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. For each statement below, please indicate your level of agreement or disagreement."
