Declarations
:
: The study was approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) Research Ethics Review Committee (ERC.0002723), the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK, interventional research ethics committee (10523/RR/4674), and by the Comité National d’Ethique pour la Recherche en Santé of Guinea. Communities were approached and the study explained by the study’s community engagement team, and permission obtained to enter the community. Individual written informed consent was obtained for all participants using a signed, printed information sheet. For child participants, consent was obtained from parents or guardians. Children aged 12 to 17 years also gave written consent. If the potential participant was illiterate, the documents were read in a local language and a fingerprint collected, countersigned by a literate independent witness. The teams taking informed consent were different from those involved in community engagement and the epidemiological determination of <i>proches</i> to include in the rings.
