Participation was completely voluntary and all announcements on social media confirmed that the study is entirely anonymous and the personal information of the students were not obtained in the online survey. Prior to the survey, we presented a homepage outlining the project’s summary and inclusion criteria. Additionally, we informed participants that they could leave the survey at any time by skipping to the final page. After signing the electronic informed consent form by ticking “agree to participate”, the online survey started for them. The last page featured a ‘Submit’ button, accompanied by a reminder that only by clicking it could students participate in the survey.
