The participants were informed of their rights to withdraw from the study at any time without any consequences. Confidentiality and privacy were assured as a safeguard against any harm to the participants. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks and physical distancing were used to avoid the possible spread of the disease. The participants were not paid any money; however, during the FGDs, safe drinking water was provided.
