Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval was received from the Mbarara University Research Ethics Committee (REF MUIRC/7) and Uganda National Council of Science and Technology (SS 4045) as well as Ghent University Hospital Ethics Board. We obtained written informed consent from the school head teachers and parents/guardians and assent from pupils prior to data collection. Authorization was obtained from the local ethics board to allow teachers to consent as legal guardians for pupils if a parent was not available at the time of the interview, and efforts were made to inform these parents of their child’s participation.
