Declarations
:
: The study was ethically reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI). All methods were carried out in accordance with the Ethiopia national Ethics guidelines and regulations. Since this study is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey that did not involve any human experiments, the ethical review board committee waived monitoring regulation during data collection. We obtained verbal informed consent from all participants to take part in the study due to the poor literacy level and difficulty in obtaining a written consent. This was made explicit in the proposal and was approved by the IRB. Interviews were conducted in private places in the compounds of the participants’ houses.
: The oral informed consent obtained includes consent to publish the findings.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
