Hello mimi5,

The only reference I could find regarding this survey is at the following url:

http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/319/7212/DC1

Since I am unable to find the source of the survey with the specific
data you have clarified, I will ask the editors to remove my answer.

Hopefully another researcher will be able to assist you. 

My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Best regards,

Hello mimi5,

As I have clarified above, I am unable to locate this specific data. I
will have my answer removed as soon as possible.

Found the info on the second try.  I think I asked for clarification a
second time by mistake.  Researcher's second response was helpful.
