Declarations
:
: The study proposal was registered in the Institutional Review Board of KDRU Faculty of Medicine (protocol number 78, dated 12/12/2020) and the ethical approval was obtained prior to data collection. Participation in the study was entirely voluntary and the details of the study were shared with all the participants in the beginning of the interview. All the participants were interviewed by mobile phones and majority of them could not sent us their written informed consent form, as many students were living in remote areas or had very little access to internet. Hence, only verbal informed consent was obtained and this type of consent was approved by KDRU’s IRB. All aspects of the study comply with the ethical standards of the relevant national and institutional committees on studies involving human contacts and with the Declaration of Helsinki released in 1975 and subsequent revisions.
