:

: Before the start of the study, a sensitization meeting was organized with leaders for each nomadic group, then in each camp between the principal investigator and the leader of the camp to discuss the objectives of the research and what it would involve, and to seek permission for community members to participate in the research. Potential participants had two days to decide whether to participate. Respondents were then selected by consensus among women of the camp. The research assistants checked whether they met the inclusion criteria and planned the FGDs with them. On the day of the FGD, participants were guided through an information and informed consent session. They were then given one hour to confirm or decline participation. Those who wished to participate provided signatures or fingerprints on the duplicate consent form to indicate their approval.Before discussion started, identifiers were assigned to participants to avoid recording of identifiable information, and transcripts were anonymized. The study was approved by the National Bioethics Committee of Chad (ref: N° 0193/PR/MESRI/SG/CNBT/2020). The study does not involve the use of any animal or human tissue.
