Declarations
:
: This study research protocol was reviewed and approved by the University of Miami’s Institutional Review Board (#20180666). All consenting individuals were 18 years of age and older, able to speak and read in English and of any race, ethnicity and social demographic background. Participants were fully explained the purpose of the study, asked any questions about the study, and subsequently completed a verbal consent process given no personal identifying information was collected by the survey instrument nor during the interview process. The verbal consent process was approved by the IRB to minimize risk in this one-time, cross-sectional study given participants provided anonymous interview and survey data. The collection of a signed consent would increase risk of confidentiality, thus verbal consent and their willingness to answer questions was sufficient.
