2. If not, why not?

I couldn’t download it - 20%

I didn’t understand it - 7%

I didn’t have time - 41%

I wasn’t interested - 3%

Other (most said that they didn’t know about it) - 29%

3. General views on regulation

I think Bowen should join a federal body - 51%

I think Bowen should set up its own regulatory bod - 40%

I don’t think that therapies should be regulated - 3%

Other (mostly undecided) - 6%
