Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Data were collected through a voluntary, anonymous online survey hosted on SurveyMonkey. Once potential participants opened the link to SurveyMonkey, they landed on an introduction page which was simultaneously utilized as electronic informed consent. On this page, the potential participants were formally invited to participate in the research project, and were informed about the research and all ethical aspects related to the study. Participants were asked to confirm that they were 18 years or older; understood and accepted the outlined information, and wanted to complete the survey, by clicking on the accept button. Electronic written informed consent was obtained from all participants. This data collection procedure was approved by the Health Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of North-West University [certificate number: NWU-00072-16-A1]. As the study took place online, no further legal authorization or goodwill consent was necessary.
