Declarations
:
: Ethical approval was given by the joint Gambia Government/Scientific Coordinating Committee at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Fajara (Quantitative Ref: SCC 1580V1.1; Qualitative Ref: SCC 1581v1.1) and University of Birmingham BMedSc Research Ethics Committee (Quantitative Ref: IREC2017/1416069; Qualitative Ref: IREC2017/1410620). Permission to conduct research was granted by each hospital’s administrators and the Gambian Director of Public Health. Written informed consent was obtained by all women in the study with signature or thumbprint if the woman was illiterate. This study did not include minors (under age 16) and therefore did not require the consent of any women’s parent or guardian.
