Declarations
:
: Research involving human participants and human data was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and all relevant guidelines and regulations. The ZooTRIP project was approved by the University of the Philippines Manila Research Ethics Board (UPMREB 2019-084-01) and the University Ethics Committee of the University of Surrey (UEC 2019-049). Consultation with DOH and LGUs of Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Norte was conducted prior to project implementation. Written informed consent was provided by adults and guardians of participants under 18. Written assent was obtained from children aged 12 to 17 and verbal assent from children aged 10 to 11. If participants were illiterate, they were asked to document consent by means of a thumb print in the presence of a literate legally authorized representative who signed the form. No monetary incentive was provided to participants, but they were informed that results of the study would be reported to DOH, concerned LGUs, and other stakeholders to serve as basis for enhancement of control programs.
