Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval was granted by the Lao National Ethics Committee for Health Research (041/NECHR; 17/03/2017).Participants gave verbal informed consent and were asked a brief series of questions about themselves and whether they had had any problems with their skin, hair or nails in the past year. Obtaining verbal consent was deemed appropriate by the Ethics committee: there were several reasons for this including literacy levels in the rural community, possible concern from participants regarding signing official documentation and the wish to be as paper-free as possible. For all participants under the age of 16, consent to participate was granted by their parent or legal guardian.
