Declarations
:
: We obtained ethical clearance for this study from the ethical review board of Mettu University College of Health Science, under reference number RPG/90/13. We obtained verbal informed consent from all participants involved in the study. Due to practical reasons and the large number of participants, it was not feasible to obtain written consent from each individual. This approach was approved by the institutional review boards overseeing the study. To ensure documentation of consent, we assigned a unique identifier to each participant during data collection and recorded it alongside the questionnaire. The data collection process was anonymous and followed the guidelines outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki.
