The study did not involve procedures that are associated high physical or emotional stress. Respondents were informed about the objectives of the study and also informed that the data are collected anonymously and strictly for the purpose of this study. No identifying information was collected. Participation in the study was voluntarily. Respondents also indicated their consent to participate in the study.
