Declarations
:
: The protocols for this study were approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Cape Coast (ID: UCCIRB/CHAS/2022/99). Our study protocol conformed to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki in 1995 (as revised in Brazil 2013) including confidentiality, risks and benefits assessments, consent to participate, and ensuring respect to participants. All the protocols were explained to all participants; only those who gave informed consent were enrolled on the study. Although some primary personal identifiers were asked for purposes of getting participants for the focus group discussion, these personal identifiers were removed after the FGD to ensure that no third party could trace the data to any participant to protect participants’ anonymity.
