These are issues new to us and are difficult to understand. We need more detailed data about the nature of the issue and how its experienced by people. More text-driven or deeper analysis to help us understand what the issue looks like and how it emerges. Surveys to help us understand the prevalence of the issue we are measuring- and when and where it occurs. These are issues that we know we need to monitor and improve on.
