Ethical approval was obtained from the Infectious Diseases Research and Ethics Committee (reference number: #REF IDI-REC 2023-078), and from Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST, reference number: HS3771ES). Informed consent was obtained from all participants. Participants received detailed information about the survey through an electronic consent form (as approved by the REC) embedded within the survey link. Those who voluntarily chose to participate indicated their consent by selecting “I agree to participate” before proceeding to the survey. The e-consent served as an acknowledgment of willingness to participate rather than a full signature.
