Declarations

:

: The study protocol and materials were approved by the CIAT Institutional Review Board (#2020-IRB39). All survey respondents were aged 18 years or older and independently provided informed consent to participate in the research. Consent was sought through a statement read aloud to the participants and verbal consent was obtained from all participants. At the time of data collection, all efforts were made to minimize contact between research assistants and the respondents, therefore, verbal consent instead of written and signed consent was deemed the best option given the prevailing COVID situation. Data were analyzed anonymously.

: The authors declare that no part of the manuscript has been published before, nor is any part of it under consideration for publication in another journal. In addition, we affirm that all the authors have approved the manuscript for submission. Not applicable.

: The authors declare that they have no known competing interests.
