Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The current study was approved by the Universidade Federal de São Paulo Research Ethics Committee (Approval Number: 2.468.584). Before the interview, all participants were provided with all information on the research and provided their verbal consent. This procedure was considered adequate, authorised and approved by the institutional Research Ethics Committee. The decision was based on the fact that using a written poses risks regarding the breaking of the bond between the researchers and the participants, a fundamental aspect to assure the quality of the data collection and the conduction of the research. The anonymity of all the participants was guaranteed by the creation of a code that consisted of the first letter of the name, the age and the first letter of the neighbourhood where the participant was interviewed. Participants not providing consent were not interviewed (<i>N</i> = 1).
