Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by the Ethics Committees of Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia (CEI-ABN026–000343) and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany (231–15). Written informed consent was obtained from each participant. According to Colombian legislation, when research participants are under 18 years of age, written informed consent is required from parents or guardians and written assent from the under-aged participant. When she only has one parent, the single parent must certify and sign the informed consent form of the custodian. This study fulfilled these requirements. After signing the informed consent form, a unique identification code was assigned to every woman and her questionnaire was labeled with this code. The study was carried out pseudonymously to notify participants who were diagnosed with IPI.
