Declarations
:
: The Institutional Review Board of ICF and IIPS both approved the guidelines and ethics required to conduct the NFHS survey. The U.S. CDC has reviewed the protocol. In compliance with Human Subjects Protection, the agencies that carried out the field survey for data collection obtained prior informed consent (both signed and oral) from the eligible respondents for the interviews and biomarker testing. Each procedure used in this study was carried out in conformity with the ICMR’s essential rules and regulations. The NFHS report (ExternalRef removed NFHS-5.shtml) does not specify the number or ID of the approval(s). The secondary data used in this study is publicly available data and there are no restrictions on who can access the data in terms of legality or ethics. As a result, because no humans nor animals were directly involved in this study, there is no need for ethical approval.
