Declarations
:
: For the Malawi Demographic and Health Survey (MDHS) data, ethical approval was not required as the National Statistics Office (NSO) of Malawi that conducted the survey was responsible for seeking ethical clearance on the questionnaires and protocol. The ethical clearance was granted by the Malawi Health Research Committee, Institutional Review Board of ICF Macro, Centre for Disease and Control (CDC) in Atlanta, GA, USA and Prevention IRB. Additionally, informed consent and anonymity do not apply to our study as these were done before and after data collection by the responsible implementing institution.
