To find out more about how the SII has been experienced, the Expert Review gathered information from two surveys and 10 interviews with key stakeholders.
There were 14 SSO (all US-based) and 10 FI survey respondents (seven US, two Canada, and one UK). The survey data provided insights into some of the successes and the barriers to participation.
To gain a deeper understanding, interviews were undertaken with key personnel from SSOs (five), FIs (two), and with survivors (three)[3]. The insights gathered are summarized here and detailed further in the second section, with case study examples.
