Declarations
:
: Ethical clearance for the study was approved by the ethical review board (ERB) of the Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC) [Ref No. 1260]. Since the study involved the participation of humans (study participants) in the health camps, we fully adhered to the National Ethical Guidelines for Health Research in Nepal 2022. The participant information sheet and consent form were provided to read or was verbally read by the research assistant. The objective of the study was clearly explained prior to obtaining the written/verbal consent from the study participants. Verbal consent was obtained from the illiterate participant in the presence of a witness. Written consent was obtained from the legally authorized representatives of minors (those younger than 18 years old). A written assent was also obtained from the participating minor. Approval letters were obtained from each of the municipalities before the conduction of the health camp. Confidentiality and privacy were maintained thoroughly via de-identification of data.
