Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval for the study was granted by the South African Medical Research Council Ethics Committee (EC034–11/2016) and the University of Cape Town’s Faculty of Health Sciences (225/2017). Written informed consent from the participants was obtained prior to each interview or FGD. Written informed consent was obtained from a parent or guardian for all participants under 16 years old. Each child completed a debriefing questionnaire at the end of the FGD to determine any need for referral. Furthermore, the child and caregiver participants were provided with the contact number of a social worker available for questions which required therapeutic answers. Three children and two caregivers were actively referred for psychological support after the FGDs.
