:
: The authors utilized an already existing dataset and therefore were not directly involved in the data collection activities. However, we requested the dataset from the DHS Programme’s website and after assessing our intent to use the dataset, they granted us approval to download and use the dataset. However, ethical considerations applicable to the main GDHS survey (where we extracted the data) can be found in the 2022 GDHS full report []. Measure DHS reported that ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of ICF International and the Ethical Review Committee of Ghana Health Service. Also, Measure DHS anonymised the dataset before making it available to the public.
