Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committees of the University of the Witwatersrand and University of Cape Town. Written study informed consent or assent was obtained from all participants. In Soweto, parents/legal guardians provided written informed consent for participants younger than 18 years. Participants and parent/legal guardian signed separate forms for audio-recording. For the Cape Town site, their institutional review board approved a parental waiver and did not require parental consent for participants 13–17 years. Therefore, for Cape Town, participants provided written consent regardless of age.
