An official permission and supportive letter were provided for each health institution. The purpose and objectives of the study was clearly explained to participants and informed consent was taken from all participants to collect the data. Although our data focus on Reproductive-Aged women (which ranges from 15–49 years), we don’t have participants aged below 18 years and didn’t take guardians’ consent. The right of participants to withdraw from the study at any time, without any precondition was disclosed unequivocally. Moreover, the confidentiality of information obtained was strictly guaranteed by all data collectors and investigators by using code numbers rather than personal identifiers and by keeping the questionnaire locked. The information retrieved is only used for the study purpose.
