Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The full study protocol was reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (research review staff) at the regional hospital that, at the time, reviewed all proposals for human subjects’ research conducted by researchers based at the study setting<sup>6</sup>. Due to the de-identified and qualitative nature of data collection (interviews and participant-observation) the study was determined exempt (Category 2) by the IRB. All participants in the larger study gave verbal consent to participate; the ethics review committee approved and prefers a verbal consent process over written consent when a written consent form would be the only link between a participant and their data.
