Similar mystery shoppers’ methods have been used in several studies and approved by ethics committees. For example, X had used this method in evaluating purchasing restricted medicines in New Zealand's pharmacies. Informed consent was not obtained from the pharmacists participated to the study. However, the researcher had informed them through the Pharmaceutical Society newsletter, that the studies was taking place but were not given details about the areas, pharmacies or medicines included, or the timing of the study.
