Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study received ethical approval from the Swaziland National Health Research Review Board (Ref: MH599C/IRB 0009688/NHRRB 027/16). Signed informed consent was obtained for the semi-structured interviews and verbal consent was obtained from FGD participants after the facilitators explained the rationale for the FGDs. Since the CAB members were used to meeting regularly as a group during CAB meetings, it was felt that verbal consent was suitable for the group discussion as participants were already participating in similar discussions. For individual interviews however, which were inviting participants to reflect on more personal aspects, additional written consent was obtained.
