The LASI study was performed in line with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The survey agencies that carried out the original field survey for data collection obtained prior informed consent (signed and oral) from eligible respondents as well as from the legal guardians of illiterate participants for biomarker testing and interviews.
