Declarations
:
: For the original conduct of the five rounds of Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys (DHSs), ethical approval was obtained from the ethical committee of the ICF. The enumerators obtained informed consent and authorization to anonymously use the data from all survey participants. In our study, we obtained permission to use the data from the DHS program. No further ethical approval was required, as our study solely involved secondary data analysis of publicly available data that does not contain any identifiable information that links to the actual survey participants. The authors also confirm that all methods were carried out by relevant guidelines and regulations.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
