Declarations
:
: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. All procedures performed in this study involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of Wayne State University’s Institutional Review Board.
: For the web-based study, the use of an electronic survey program precluded the use of an informed consent form. In its place an information sheet that required the participant to indicate that he/she agreed to participate was used. At the end of this web-based survey, participants were informed that a follow up interview would be conducted with interested participants. Participants could indicate whether they would be interested in sharing more information regarding their experiences. For participants interested in sharing more information, they were asked to select “yes” and leave their name and contact information. An email was sent to participants that indicated interest in participating in the follow up interview. In the email sent and in the interview script read at the beginning of the interviews, participants were notified that interviews could be recorded and that the recorder could be stopped at any time.
