Therefore, this study did not require ethical approval since the data is available in the public domain upon request from the DHS measure program website (). The downloaded dataset is anonymised so that there are no individual identifiers reported in the data set. The adherence to ethical protocols and guidelines of consent, privacy, and confidentiality in the collection and archiving of data was ensured by the primary investigator (ZIMSTAT), producers, and funding agencies [].
