Declarations
:
: The ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and Resolution 8430 of Colombia were applied. The study was classified as minimal risk and was endorsed by the Ethics Committee of the SIU (University Research Headquarters), University of Antioquia. The participants provided informed consent (of legal age) or assent (under 18 years of age), obtained in writing, which was also signed by a witness (external to the research group) and a member of the health team who explained its content. In cases where possible, parental consent was obtained; However, according to rulings C-246/17 and T-675–17 on Self-determination of minors, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Colombia in 2017 determined that parental consent is not necessary in these cases given that at 14 years of age, it has been established that minors can have the maturity to begin to assume obligations and responsibilities in society, such as marriage, consent to sexual relations and the right to privacy in the family environment.
