Declarations
:
: Our study was conducted following the regulations of the Ethics Committee of the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Medical Faculty). It operates according to the Declaration of Helsinki and the (Model) Professional Code for Physicians in Germany. According to § 15 of the (Model) Professional Code, neither human body materials nor data that could be assigned to a specific human being were used in our study. We sent out a questionnaire that had been approved in advance by the Institute of General Practice and Family Medicine of Halle University. In the enclosed cover letter, respondents were informed about the purpose, risks, and benefits of the study and their voluntary participation in the study and their anonymity. By completing and returning the questionnaire, participants thus gave their informed consent for their responses to be analyzed.An attached declaration of no objection from the Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (ethics vote number 2021–153) confirms that no professional or ethical concerns are raised due to completely anonymized data collection and analysis. Our study was not registered in a corresponding registry.
