Declarations
:
: The Sierra Leone Ethics and Scientific Review Committee reviewed and approved the study protocol on February 11, 2021 (Protocol No.: 011/02/2021). The Ministries of Health and Sanitation and APHRC provided internal review and approval of the study. The Sierra Leone Ethics and Scientific Review Committee waived the need for parental/guardian consent in the case of minors, due to their status as emancipated minors as pregnant individuals and the harm of possible disclosure to third parties. All respondents, minors included, provided individual signed informed consent before participation. All investigators who worked on the team completed the human subjects’ protection training before engaging in the study. The study adhered to the Helsinki Declaration for research on human participants.
