The information sheet also emphasized the participants’ right to withdraw at any time, without providing a reason or facing any negative consequences. Confidentiality was maintained by ensuring the questionnaire was anonymous and by omitting any identifying information about the participants. Additionally, contact information for one of the authors was made available to address any questions or provide further clarification.
