Declarations
:
: This protocol and the consent forms (Appendices InternalRef removed, InternalRef removed, InternalRef removed, InternalRef removed and InternalRef removed) have been reviewed and approved by the Makerere School of Public Health IRB (#554), the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (#HS1720ES), and the Yale Institutional Review Board (#2000023199). These ethics committees waived informed consent requirements for Aim 1 because the research poses minimal risk to participants, and obtaining consent is not feasible given the trial’s pragmatic design involving CHWs delivering services in a routine clinic and community settings. For data collection procedures for Aims 2 and 3, trained research officers will obtain verbal consent (Appendices InternalRef removed, InternalRef removed, InternalRef removed, InternalRef removed and InternalRef removed) from clients and healthcare workers. We will not require re-consent from participants for data use beyond the original aims, if the new analyses pose no greater risk than the original analyses. All methods proposed here will be in accordance with relevant United States and Ugandan guidelines and regulations.
