Declarations
:
: The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards of our institution and the Helsinki Declaration. The protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (reference number: 21168) and the Ethics Review Committee of the Ministry of Health and Population in Aden (reference number: GAIR/004). Both review boards approved informed verbal consent/assent to be obtained from study participants, as many participants are not able to read and write. We obtained informed verbal consent from adult participants and married girls ages 16–17 who are considered emancipated minors in this context. An informed oral assent process was used for unmarried children 10–17 and married children under age 16. This was coupled with informed oral consent from their parent/guardian.
