Ethics.
CBVs
Ethical approvals for the overarching evaluation and the protocol amendments made to include collection of COVID-19–related perception and behavior data were obtained from the Boston University Medical Campus Institutional Review Board and the University of Zambia Biomedical Research Ethics Committee. The overarching evaluation was approved by the National Health Research Authority; the MoH at the national, provincial, and district levels; and traditional chiefs overseeing the local areas. Written informed consent was obtained from each participant in their language of choice and documented with a signature or thumb print. IDIs and FGDs were audio recorded with consent from each participant. CBVs and community members received a small token of appreciation for their time. Health center staff did not receive any tokens in accordance with MoH guidelines.
