The data collection period ranged from 6 January 2020 to August 2022. The data were collected with the assistance of field workers. Two fieldworkers were initially employed on the ground; however, another field worker was added due to time constraints. They administrated the questionnaires in the three villages. The first batch of questionnaires was circulated and completed before the COVID19 pandemic. When the government announced lockdown restrictions, all fieldwork had to be put on hold. Upon the relaxation of the COVID19 restrictions, the fieldworkers regrouped and completed the process. The researcher led the telephonic interview.
