Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Study protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board at the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Ethics Review Board, Ministry of Health and Sports, Myanmar (ERC Number: 003617, Approval Number: Ethics/DMR/2017/067). Verbal consent was obtained from the participants prior to the study. Given that informal work activities are not legally recognised in Myanmar, written consent may lead to discomfort or breach of confidentiality for study participants. Thus, only verbal consent was obtained. The ethics committees at the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Department of Medical Research, the Ministry of Health and Sports Myanmar, approved this procedure.
