Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study protocol, consent forms, documents, annual reports, and amendments were reviewed and approved by the Bolivian National Bioethics Committee, Research Ethics Commission (Comisión de Ética de la Investigación - Comité Nacional de Bioética) and by Emory University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB00056127). The study convened a Bolivian scientific advisory board, composed of three Bolivian pediatricians, to provide independent oversight and advocate for study participants. The scientific advisory board met annually 2012–2015 and reviewed all study data, protocol changes, and adverse event and severe adverse event reports. Mothers provided written consent in Spanish or Aymara after explaining the purpose of the study in their own words. The 42 mothers who were minors also needed their parent’s consent.
