Assignment of interventions and blinding
Participant assignment into the intervention group or the control group is solely based on area of residence. Participants reside in 15 Considering the nature of the study, limited single-blinding is applied to the intervention, as participants will not be told whether they reside in the intervention or control area, but researchers will be aware of the allocation. Upon giving informed consent, participants in the intervention group will receive an explanation of the entire HWePS intervention, while control group participants will receive an explanation of only the health information component. Assignments will not be explicitly expressed to external assessors but may be inferred throughout the course of the study. An independent data analyst blinded to the assignments will receive a cleaned dataset without any identifiable information.
