Survey data for the article entitled 'Evidence-based medicine training in general surgery in the United Kingdom: an exploratory snapshot survey study'

The files contain raw data from the survey conducted during this study (as part of my PhD thesis) after obtaining ethical approval (Reference Number 056808). The survey data is available on the spreadsheets after deidentification of personal information. <b>Purpose of the study</b>: This study aims to identify UK general surgical trainees’ perceptions, attitudes, and perceived barriers to EBM training and assessment so that interventions by general surgery educators to improve integration of EBM are informed by stakeholder data.<b>Method</b>: A mixed-method survey was developed by adapting the validated McColl and BARRIERS questionnaires, informed by a scoping review and focus group discussions. Ethical approval was obtained (University of Sheffield − 056808). The survey was distributed through social media, surgical society newsletters, and deanery mailing lists, adhering to the CHERRIES checklist
