Declarations
:
: Each participant was asked to acknowledge a Study Information Sheet before participating in this study. A study information sheet is the informed consent for Exempt research. This document listed the purpose of the study, study procedures, risks/benefits, privacy/confidentiality, voluntary nature of participation and IRB and investigator contact information.
: The study was approved by the Health Sciences Campus Institutional Review Board of the University of Southern California under Exempt research. Exempt research studies are studies that do not collect any personal identifiable information from participants and therefore do not require a signed informed consent. Instead, a study information sheet is given. The ethical considerations section of the manuscript was slightly revised to ensure that this information was clear.
: The authors have no conflict of interest to disclose.
