Declarations
:
: All research was approved prior to the start of research by the University of California Riverside and University of California Los Angles Institutional Review Board. The IRB approval reference number is HS-19-303 dated 12/20/19. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant institutional guidelines and regulations, including those specific to the COVID-19 pandemic. A waiver of written documented consent was obtained from the University of California Riverside Institutional Review Board for all study participants involved in research activity to provide electronic consent. The IRB approved this request as all research was conducted online. The study team met the conditions for the waiver as outlined in the UCR informed Consent Guide (ExternalRef removed) as the study was determined minimal risk, the waiver did not adversely affect the rights of participants, it was not practical to carry out the research without the waiver, participants were provided with study information, and the research was not a clinical study. As such, electronic consent was obtained for the pretest and posttest surveys and optional focus groups. At the beginning of all focus groups, an information sheet was shared with participants and verbal consent was obtained.
