For women between the ages of 13–17 years to be included in the household survey, assent was obtained from a parent or guardian. The same process will be followed at endline survey. The Ethiopian Public Health Institute Ethical Review Board and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Ethical Review Board approved the evaluation (LSHTM Ethics Ref 16117 and EPHI Ethics Ref 613/52).
