Declarations
:
: All methods were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations such as the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. The study was submitted to the Makerere University School of Public Health (MaKSPH) Research and Ethics Committee for approval. Permission was also obtained from the office of the Prime Minister to access the refugee settlement. Informed written consent was obtained from the study participants. While parental consent is required for participants below the age of 18 years, the Uganda National Guidelines for Research Involving Humans as Research Participants allow for exceptions in the case of emancipated minors []. Hence, for participants under the age of 18, who were considered emancipated minors (living on their own, having borne a child, married, or currently pregnant), informed consent was obtained directly from them. Participants’ privacy and confidentiality were protected throughout the study. Any personal or identifying information was kept secure and participants’ privacy was respected during the interview and sample collection process.
