Declarations
:
: This study was reviewed and approved by the University of Southern California (USC) Institutional Review Board in Los Angeles, California, USA under Protocol UP-18–00323. This study was found to be exempt from requiring participant consent by the USC Institutional Review Board given that this is an observational study with minimal participant risk and no identifiable participant information. Nonetheless, verbal (rather than written) consent was obtained, and participants in the study were provided with a copy of the consent form for review. Only adult participants over the age of 18 who gave verbal consent were enrolled in the study. If the participant declined consent, the survey interview was not initiated. The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
