Declarations
:
: The study was reviewed and approved by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine’s Research and Ethics Committee (REC 20–050), Moi University/Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital Institutional Research and Ethics Committee (IREC) (IREC FAN: 0003764), Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC/ADM/74/Vol VI) and the National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (License No: NACOSTI/P/21/8931). Consent was received at various levels. Details about the study were communicated by the KMTC Headquarters to all the participating colleges’ administration for institutional entry and required support. Study participants (educators) received an electronic detailed study information booklet containing all information about the study (including recording of teaching sessions as appropriate) and consent form two weeks before the commencement of the study. Secondly, a print copy of the same participant information sheet was issued to each participant and a written informed consent was obtained at the start of the face-to-face training sessions. A written informed consent was obtained from the students who participated in the study. Participation was strictly voluntary with an explicit option to withdraw at any time with no consequences. Those who opted not to participate in the study were not denied the training. Confidentiality was maintained throughout the study using the anonymous identity codes assigned to the study participants (educators and students). The study carried no risk to the participants as their identity was concealed throughout, study results (knowledge or skills scores) were not shared with the administration and participation in the study did not form part of their performance appraisal. Assessments, interview discussions and debrief meetings were conducted in a designated private space within the colleges.
