Chronic wasting disease (CWD) survey by hunters in Massachusetts in early 2023.

We implemented an online survey questionnaire for adult Massachusetts licensed hunters in December 2022-February 2023 using the Qualtrics survey platform (Qualtrics, Provo, UT). The online survey covers a number of topics related to chronic wasting disease (CWD) such as knowledge, risk perception, management acceptability, hunting behavior, channel use, and trust in different sources. Of the 39,676 requests, we received a total of 11,741 responses, corresponding to a response rate of 29.6%.
