Declarations
:
: The study received ethical approval from School of Medicine REC (reference number: #REC REF 2020-024), which is affiliated to Makerere University and accredited by UNCST (accreditation number: IRB00002062). The study also received approval from UNCST (reference number: HS542ES). Written consent was obtained before the survey was undertaken for the surveys that were collected using a paper-based form of data collection. For the online survey, the REC approved for e-consenting of the participants. The e-consent form provided detailed information about the survey. Individuals who voluntarily choose to participate selected “I agree to participate” and those not willing selected “I do not agree to participate”. E-consent was not taken as a “full signature” but rather an indication of accepting to participate in the survey.
