Declarations
:
: The authors declare no competing interests.
: All participants provided informed consent before participation. Confidentiality and anonymity were strictly maintained, and participants were informed that the study involved no direct benefits or risks. Ethical approval for conducting the study was obtained from the Research and Ethical Review Committee of Mutah University, Jordan (Reference No: 27025). Based on this primary approval, participating institutions in other countries formally waived additional IRB review because the study was anonymous, self-administrated, minimal-risk, and non-interventional. Waivers of review were issued by the Faculty of Medicine Research Ethics Committee, Zagazig University, Egypt, the Scientific Research Ethics Committee, Ministry of Health, Syria, and the Institutional Review Board, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sana’a University, Yemen. This approach aligns with international ethical principles, including the Declaration of Helsinki (2013), the CIOMS International Ethical Guidelines (2016), and the Bahrain Declaration on Public Health Surveillance (2017) 57–59
