Declarations
:
: We sought Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso prior to initiating our study. The IRB approved our study for the assessment of our intervention based on an incentive method waving informed consent while other assessments were exempted from IRB approval as they did not meet the definition of human subject research, per 46.102(e)(1)(ii), as the information was not identifiable. During workshops offered to students in the USA and Mexico, this unidentified data was collected voluntarily.
: All authors have contributed substantially to the conception of the work that has not been submitted for publication elsewhere and have given consent for publication.
: A clinical trial number was not obtained because our research study did not prospectively assign people or groups of people to receive one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes.
: The authors declare no competing interests.
