: To gain entry into the communities the research team paid courtesy calls on Chiefs and elders of each research community to inform them of our mission and to seek their permission. Informed written and verbal consents were obtained from all research participants. Participants were requested to sign or thumbprint a written informed consent form. Oral consent was sought from those who felt uncomfortable with either the thumb printing or signing. Participants were assured of strict confidentiality and anonymity of the responses they provided.
