Randomization and allocation of intervention
BLIND
Blinded randomization will be performed by the study team (medical officer or study nurse) at the time of enrolment using an automated randomization sequence within the Redcap data capture tool. The randomization will be done in real time on the Redcap tool as it will be Internet enabled. Participants will be randomized to either intervention arm (arm 1; self-administered therapy) or control arm (arm 2; DOT). Stratified randomization will be performed according to age group and gender. Due to the nature of the intervention and organization of patient care, it will not be possible to blind either participants or study staff to the study arm allocation
