Declarations
:
: The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was nested in a trial whose protocol was approved by the DRC national ethics committee (CNES) (94/CNES/BN/PMMF/2018) and by the Ethics Evaluation Committee of Inserm, the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Comité d’Evaluation Ethique de l’Inserm) (18–545). In November 2019, the CNES performed a field visit at each of the study sites and then renewed approval (152/CNES/BN/PMMF/2019) for the continuation of the trial. After an initial explanation by the enumerator in Tshiluba, asking questions and receiving an information sheet, all participants gave written consent. If the participant was unable to read and write, he chose a witness that could sign for him/her (usually the village community health worker).
