During the field survey and data collection, consent was secured from the interviewers as well as the participants of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The purpose of the research was clearly explained to the survey participants, including the intended use of the information from the survey, interview and FGDs. In addition, consent was also obtained from the participants regarding note taking and the use of information solely for research purposes. During the field survey and FGDs, local volunteers were engaged as interpreters to ensure cultural appropriateness as well as proper understanding of the questions.

All the participants were consulted in advance and the interview/ FGD schedule and place were selected to minimize disruption to their daily lives. In addition, proper credits and citations were rigorously maintained for all the intellectual properties and studies consulted in this study.
