Declarations
:
: The Virginia Tech Institutional Review Board (IRB #22–798) determined that IRB review and approval by Virginia Tech was not required for the data from New Zealand, Iceland, and Mexico, thus waiving the need for consent to participate. For the New Zealand data, the study was approved by the University of Otago Human Ethics Committee (Proposal #D22/063). For the data from Mexico, the need for approval was waived by the participating university (Tecnológico de Monterrey) because the study was reviewed by the Virginia Tech IRB (IRB #22–798). For the data collected at the University of Iceland, the need for approval was waived by the participating university, and international regulations were followed with respect to informed participant consent for all aspects of the study. The National BioEthics Committee in Iceland does not receive applications for approval for this type of study because the survey did not contain any sensitive questions and student participation was voluntary. However, as per Icelandic Regulations, the project was reported to the Icelandic National Data Protection Agency, and they listed the project in their publicized records on their webpage. The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki except that informed consent was not obtained from participants because participation was voluntary and the researchers in the present study received de-identified data.
