Perspectives of ammunition users on the use of lead ammunition and its potential impacts on wildlife and humans

Description

Views of UK ammunition users about lead ammunition were statistically analysed using Q-methodology. Each participant was asked to rank, in order of agreement, 56 opinion statements about the topic. The dataset therefore includes information on:

1. The participant ID (all participants were anonymous)

2. The individual scores given to each statement by the participant, where -5 relates to statements most strongly disagreed with and +5 relates to statements most agreed with. There were a fixed number of statements along the scale.

A pyramid shaped grip (know as an array) was used for the sorting exercise as it requires participants to rank statements in a forced quasi-normal distribution. See Figure S1 (Supplementary Materials).
