The study results, conclusions, and further recommendations were drawn from the 2018 CDHS which is an already existing dataset collected through the DHS Program in Cameroon. Therefore, this study required no ethical clearance. However, permission to download the dataset was requested from Measure DHS and the dataset was downloaded after the request was granted. The dataset is publicly accessible for download at https://dhsprogram.com/data/dataset/Cameroon_Standard-DHS_2018.cfm?flag=0. However, details on ethical considerations are provided by the 2018 CDHS report [8].
