*2.1. Procedure*

Data were collected from 1 April 2020 to 30 April 2020. Participants completed a secure online survey, optimized for its use on computers, tablets, and mobile devices. The Qualtrics Survey Platform was used to widely distribute the questionnaire throughout Italy. A non-probabilistic and convenience sampling technique was used, in order to successfully attract as many voluntary participants as possible, motivated by interest and curiosity about the research topic.

The questionnaire was distributed through different channels, such as the authors' official working platforms, by word of mouth and through social networks. After reading the informed consent, each respondent was able to voluntarily decide to join the research and start answering the digital survey. Maximum confidentiality in the handling and analysis of the responses was guaranteed.
