Declarations
:
: Written informed consent was obtained from healthcare providers, young adults, and caregivers of adolescents to participate in the study. Adolescents provided written informed assent after their caregivers had given consent. The consenting and assent activities were conducted separately for the adolescents and caregivers to avoid potential coercion. Before conducting any focus group discussion or interview, we sought informed oral consent to record and make field notes. Study procedures were approved by the Makerere University School of Medicine Research and Ethics Committee (IRB #2021,048) and Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (SIR170ES). Data were collected in accordance with international conventions and guidelines on research involving human subjects such as the declaration of Helsinki.
