Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval was obtained from the Georgia National Center for Disease Control and Public Health Institutional Review Board. This survey was determined to be a routine public health activity for public health surveillance by CDC’s Human Subjects Research Office and therefore judged to not involve human subjects research. All participants signed a consent form in their preferred language; the form explained the purpose of the survey, provided contact information for the Principal Investigator, informed participants that they could decline to answer any questions they chose, and assured them that their participation would not influence health care services they receive through the Georgian government.
