Ethics approval and consent to participate

: The ethical approval of the research protocol was granted by two review boards. Firstly, the Committee on Human Research, Publication and Ethics of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (CHRPE-KNUST/KATH) reviewed and approved it and secondly, it was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Navrongo Health Research Centre (IRB-NHRC). Pregnant women attending their first antenatal visit at the RHB-ANC were approached and the rationale of the study was explained to them. Written informed consent was then obtained from all participants and guardians of participants who were younger than 16 years. In the process of seeking informed consent, the aims and objectives of the study, as well as the benefits of the proposed study, were explained to the participants.
