Declarations
:
: The study was approved by the Health Sciences and Science Research Ethics Board at the University of Ottawa (certificate #H08–16-27), the Carleton University Research Ethics Board-A (CUREB-A, certificate #106300), the Social and Behavioural Institutional Review Board at Florida International University (certificate #105160), and the Research Ethics Committee at the University of Port Harcourt (certificate #UPH/CEREMAD/REC/04). Additionally, permission was obtained from each of the community partner sites where participants were recruited. Informed oral consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. The participants preferred oral over written consents because of anonymity having identified as mothers living with HIV. Also, oral consent was most feasible because many of them completed the survey orally with assistant of the survey administrators. The participants consent procedure was approved by the respective ethic boards.
