I\\u2019ll be publishing more complicated analyses over the course of the next year, hopefully starting later this month. If you want to scoop me, or investigate the data yourself. you can download the answers of the 7000 people who agreed to have their responses shared publicly. Out of concern for anonymity, the public dataset will exclude or bin certain questions. If you want more complete information, email me and explain why, and I\\u2019ll probably send it to you.

If you\\u2019re interested in tracking how some of these answers have changed over time, you might also enjoy reading the 2020 survey results.

I don\\u2019t think I can Google Forms only present data from people who agreed to make their responses public, so I\\u2019ve deleted everything identifiable on the individual level, eg your written long response answers. Everything left is just things like \\u201cX% of users are Canadian\\u201d or \\u201cY% of users have ADHD\\u201d. There\\u2019s no way to put these together and identify an ADHD Canadian, so I don\\u2019t think they\\u2019re privacy relevant. If you notice anything identifiable on the public results page, please let me know.

There will be a few confusing parts. I added some questions halfway through, so they will have fewer responses than others. On the \\u201cWhat Event Led To Your Distrust?\\u201d question, I added new multiple choice responses halfway through, so they will incorrectly appear less popular than the other responses. I think that is the only place I did that, but you can email me if you have any questions.

I deleted email address (obviously), some written long answers, some political questions that people might get in trouble for answering honestly, and some sex-related questions. I binned age to the nearest 5 years and deleted the finer-grained ethnicity question. I binned all incomes above $500,000 into \\u201chigh\\u201d, and removed all countries that had fewer than ten respondents (eg if you said you were from Madagascar, it would have made you identifiable, so I deleted that). If you need this information for some reason, email me.
