Declarations
:
: The study involves a secondary analysis of the LQAS survey data, which is publicly available upon reasonable request at the participating districts or projects without any usage restrictions. Due to the availability of this data, ethical review consideration or informed consent was not required for the study. However, the study obtained permission from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) / Strategic Information Technical Support (SITES) Activity to use the survey datasets. The LQAS surveys may contain some confidential variables, but for the analysis, the study used an anonymized dataset that did not require any such variables. For more information on the LQAS study’s procedures, one can refer to the LQAS reports (49–51). To ensure adherence to appropriate reporting guidelines, the study results were reported following acceptable standards and guidelines for observational studies in epidemiology (52).
