Declarations
:
: We received ethical approval from the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (Ref. 098/2018). The Institutional Review Board at Harvard Medical School deemed this study “exempt”. As our research posed minimal risk to study participants, a verbal consent process was approved by both IRBs. Before each interview, the participant(s) were provided with information about the study in English or Tigrinya. Consent was obtained in a private room after the potential subject demonstrated an understanding of the study purpose and indicated interest in participating. Consent was verbally given by each participant enrolled which then appears in the interviewee’s transcript. The opening explanation to the survey explained consent and noted that completion of the survey implied consent.
: No individual person’s data is presented in this article.
