Declarations
:
: The methods and procedures received prospective ethical approval from all participating communities (2015), the Ethics Committee of the <i>Centro de Investigación de Enfermedades Tropicales</i> of the <i>Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero</i> (reference 2013-014), and McGill’s Faculty of Medicine Institutional Review Board (reference A06-B28-17B). All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. We adopted the ethical principles for medical research in Indigenous communities proposed by the Research Group on Traditional Health Systems [CitationRef removed]. These principles incorporate the International Ethical Guidelines for Health-related Research Involving Humans (CIOMS, 2012 and maintain compliance with the version of 2016), Declaration of Helsinki (2013) and the Canadian Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans chapter 9. We obtained informed consent from Indigenous mothers during data collection.
