: Written informed consent was obtained in person by the researcher prior to participation in the questionnaire survey conducted between March and June 2016. All participants were adults aged 18 or above, and no minors or other vulnerable populations were included. Each participant received a standardized written consent form outlining the study’s objectives and procedures, assuring anonymity and confidentiality, noting potential risks, and emphasizing the voluntary nature of participation and the right to decline or withdraw at any time without penalty. Before accessing the questionnaire, participants were required to read the consent form carefully and confirm their agreement by signing or orally acknowledging consent. The form also granted permission for anonymized data to be used for academic research and publication purposes. The study involved no more than minimal risk and did not include any form of physical or psychological intervention. Through this process, all participants provided explicit informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study.
