: To protect the rights of all participants, we rigorously followed the Declaration of Helsinki in both the design and execution of the research. This study received approval from the Ghana Health Services Ethics Review Committee (ERC) in Accra (ID: GHS-ERC: 031/02/24). Participants were fully informed about the purpose of the study, the voluntary nature of their involvement, the confidentiality of their data, and their right to withdraw at any time. All methods were conducted in compliance with pertinent guidelines and regulations. All participants provided oral consent for their participation. Also, trained research assistants translated the consent forms into the native languages of participants with no or lower levels of education. Afterwards, they obtained written informed consent from all participants before the face-to-face interviews.
