Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Verbal consent was sought and documented by the interviewers. If the respondent was under 18 years old, then consent was sought from her husband, parents or guardian. As it was expected that most of the respondents could not read or write, written consent was not sought. For the 2010–11 survey, ethical approval was obtained from the ethical review committee of the Ethiopian Public Health Association. For the 2014–15 survey, ethical approvals were obtained from the ethical review boards of the regional health bureaus of Amhara, Oromia, SNNP and Tigray regions and from the ethical review board of JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc.
