| General attitudes towards surrogacy. | Attitudes Towards Surrogacy Survey (ATSS) was constructed on the basis of a literature review and other existing questionnaires or surveys. The survey consists of 15 items. The opinion is indicated by using seven-point Likert-type scale (1= strongly disagree, 7= strongly agree). For most items a higher score indicates a more positive attitude towards surrogacy. To prevent acquiescence response bias, 4 items were reversed. Total score was obtained by summing the items, ranging from 15 (minimum negative attitude) to 105 (maximum positive attitude). | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Attitudes towards traditional vs. gestational surrogacy | Measured by the Attitudes to Surrogate Parenthood Questionnaire (ASPQ) constructed by Constantinidis D., Roger Cook (2012). The opinion was indicated by using seven-point Likert-type scale (1= strongly disagree, 7= strongly agree). One item included yes/no answer. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |

| The Cognitive Concerns About Issues Related to Surrogacy Scale (CCAIRSS) | Measured by the Attitudes to Surrogate Parenthood Questionnaire (ASPQ) constructed by Constantinidis D., Roger Cook (2012). The Cognitive Concerns About Issues Related to Surrogacy Scale (CCAIRSS) was used in order to examine the level of concerns and different complications associated to traditional and gestational surrogacy. Participants use five-point Likert-type scale to express how much they agree with each statement. Total score was obtained by summing the items, ranging from 15 to 75. High scores reflected smaller surrogacy-related concers and low scores reflected greater surrogacy-related concerns (Constantinidis, Cook, 2012). | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |

Some items included yes/no answer and ranking. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year |
