Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval for this study was granted by the Bioethics Review Joint Committee of the UEM Faculty of Medicine and Maputo Central Hospital (CIBS FM&HCM/33/2015, dated 28 August 2015). All the following procedures were approved by the above mentioned committee: written informed consent was obtained from each participant before the interview. Minor participants (i.e. those aged less than 18 years) were asked about their willingness to participate. For those willing to participate, informed consent was obtained from their parents or legal guardians. Additional assent was then obtained from each of the minor participants. For illiterate participants, a literate witness was involved in the consent process, the participant’s fingerprint was taken, and the consent form was signed by the witness and the data collector.
