Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study is approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the University of Michigan University (HUM00129316) and Healis Sekhsaria Institute for Public Health (2015/18/03). Parental/guardian permission will be obtained for minor participants (under 18 years of age), who will be asked to provide assent prior to enrollment in the study. The ethics committees approved verbal consent instead of written consent by weighing the minimal risk level of the study against the effect of low literacy on equitable recruitment. Any protocol changes will be reported immediately to each Institutional Review Board.
