: Prior to participation, all respondents were informed of the study’s main objective and were assured that their data will remain anonymous and confidential and will only be used for the purpose of conducting the current research. This was fulfilled by including an introductory section in the study questionnaire, where only participants who gave their informed consent, either by choosing “Yes” in the online form or by providing their verbal confirmation in face-to-face and telephone interviews were able to proceed forward and fill the questionnaire. This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical guidelines outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Given the observational nature of this study, which ensured voluntary participation, confidentiality and non-traceability, the Research and Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Lebanese University waived the need for formal ethical approval.

: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.

: Not applicable (NA).
