Ethics approval and consent to participate
: To ensure the safety and autonomy of all participants, everyone was asked to give informed consent to participate. Given that the study population comprised adolescents, participants under the age of 18 were required to provide a signed assent and their tutors’ consent in order to participate. The informed consent document was translated into Kiswahili and then back to English to provide a clear understanding for all participants, as well as an accurate translation. While it was not possible to completely anonymise the data, the research team ensured that all data was stored securely and according to Kenyan laws and guidelines. Ethical approval was given by the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital Ethical Review Committee (ERC.1B/VOL.I/263) and the Kenyan National Commission for Science Technology and Innovation.
