Ethics approval and consent to participate
: We received ethics approval for the study from the institutional review board “<i>Comité d’éthique de la recherche en santé</i>” of the University of Montréal in Canada (#15–131-CERES-D). The Ethics Committee of Ibn Sina University Hospital Rabat Centre in Morocco and the Ethics Committee “CPP IDF IV” at the hospital Saint Louis in Paris waived the necessity for ethical approval because the research was not a biomedical research related to health or medical issues and an ethical approval was already obtained in Canada.Following good ethical practice in research, we aimed to meet the expectation that participants be fully informed of the processes and outcomes, and that participation be entirely voluntary. Participants were informed that completing and returning the questionnaire constituted consent to participate in the study.
