Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for this study was obtained in 2017 from both the Cambodian National Ethics Committee for Health Research (NECHR, reference 283) and the Oxford Tropical Research Ethics Committee (OxTREC, reference 547–17). Since interventions are at cluster-level and integrate into the existing health system, the provincial government regards community health worker and primary care worker participation as being part of their normal role and has requested no special consent procedures. For all individual-level data (patients, health workers), for example for neonatal mortality surveillance, verbal autopsy and KAPES surveys, informed written and/or verbal consent is taken. Previous work in Cambodia has found verbal consent to be a more acceptable method for individuals to indicate their willingness to participate in research studies, particularly amongst vulnerable, rural populations. Both ethics committees prospectively approved all consent procedures.
