Declarations
:
: This study was part of the MSMT project, whose protocol was submitted to, reviewed and approved by the Medical Research Coordinating Committee (MRCC) of NIMR, Tanzania (NIMR/HQ/R.8a/Vol.IX/3579). Research participants were asked and provided individual consent (or assent for children aged 7–17 years) for their participation in the survey and biobanking for future research. For children under the legal age of adulthood in Tanzania (< 18 years), consent was obtained from a parent or guardian. An informed consent form was developed in English, translated into Kiswahili and used to obtain consent both verbally and in writing from all participants. All participants agreed and signed the consent or assent form or provided a thumbprint in conjunction with the signature of an independent witness in case the study participant was illiterate.
