Declarations

:

: Data collection started only after approval of the research protocol by the local Research Ethics Committee of the Medical Science School of the University of Campinas.Written consent to participate was obtained for all women with age higher than 18 years; written consent and parental consent was waived for women with age bellow than 18 years, however verbal consent was obtained for this group before interview. The Research Ethics Committee of the Medical Science School of the University of Campinas approved this approach to adolescents, and considered that this group could be at risk, since violence is one of the conditions evaluated by the study and it is well known that in cases of domestic violence, the perpetrator is often responsible or very close to the adolescents. Because of this condition, the Research Ethics Committee waived written consent and parental consent specifically for this group.The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Medical Science School of the University of Campinas, under the number of approval 78497817.0.0000.5404 and opinion number 2.386.001.
