Competing interests
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
: Ethical approval was granted by the Research Ethics Committee at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in the UK (16-047) and by the Comité National d’Ethique pour la Recherche en Santé of the Ministry of Health (2016-10-119) and by the Comité Institutionel de Bioethique of the Centre National de Recherche et Formation sur le Paludisme (CNRFP) (2016/006/MS/SG/CNRFP/CIB) in Burkina Faso.
: Signed informed consents were requested of all research participants, with the support of a witness’ signature in case they were illiterate. A written consent was required from the village chiefs to conduct participant observation and from the heads of the households recruited to conduct structured observations. For reason of cultural sensitivity, informed consents could be requested of the head of households only. Nonetheless, the ethnographer made sure to obtain iterative consent from the female participants.
