Declarations
:
: Before conducting research, we secured all permit documents related to ethical review of the methodology (Duke University IRB 2017–1366, in-country permits 245-ICTE/18 and 313-ICTE/19). Data were entered directly in a Samsung tablet using Qualtrics, and then downloaded onto a secure server at Duke University. Names were replaced with a unique identity number. All survey instruments were adapted to the local context so that they were culturally mindful and sensitive to the mental and physical well-being of the participants. Research assistants, drawn from the population in SAVA and neighboring regions, were trained in the administration of the survey instruments and in ethical data collection and security. The research assistants all signed contracts of confidentiality in which they attested to rigorous standards of data security.
: We declare no conflicts of interest.
