Declarations
:
: Each interviewee gave informed consent, and consent from a parent or guardian was required for unmarried teenagers aged 10–17. Names were never entered into the computer forms used to collect data. Signing the consent form was optional to protect the respondent’s or parent’s privacy; nevertheless, the interviewer had to sign a declaration confirming she or he had communicated the consent form’s content to the respondent or parent. The Population Council’s Institutional Review Board gave its approval to the project and its data collection. All methods were performed in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki. It also guaranteed that the participants’ privacy was protected and that informed consent was obtained from respondents during the survey.
