Declarations
:
: The study was an observational study that valued the anonymity and autonomy of the participant. The minimum age for participation in the survey was 18 years and above. Participants were allowed to withhold the completed form from the submission. The study did not contain any names or emails so that the participant could not be tracked. The study ensured that the privacy of each participant was adequately protected. Because no direct human or animal samples were obtained and only an academic questionnaire was used, and due to lockdowns and limited movement, universities were closed so study protocol was approved by the ethical review committee of tehsil headquarter hospital Samundri, Faisalabad (768/THQ/HR) and the study was carried out in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration.Written informed consent was taken from all study participants.
