#'
#' @param x list containing

#'   information
#'  - an element named 'contacts', a data frame containing contact information
#'  - (optionally) an element named 'reference, a list containing information
#'   information needed to reference the survey, in particular it can contain$a
#'   "title", "bibtype", "author", "doi", "publisher", "note", "year"
#' @param id_column the column in both the `participants` and
#'   `contacts` data frames that links contacts to participants
#' @param country_column the column in the `participants` data frame
#'   containing the country in which the participant was queried; if
#'   NULL (default), will use "country" column if present
#' @param year_column the column in the `participants` data frame
#'   containing the year in which the participant was queried; if
#'   NULL (default), will use "year" column if present
#' @param ... additional arguments (currently ignored)

#'   `r lifecycle::badge("deprecated")` Use the underscore versions
#'   (e.g., `id_column`) instead.
