Study design, population, and settings:
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the period
February to August 2019. The study population included senior medical
students in their 4th year of study and above at
Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) and Yarmouk
University (YU), in addition to interns, residents, general
practitioners (GP), and specialist doctors. Study settings included
academic institutions like King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH),
hospitals of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Royal Medical Services
