All participants were provided oral explanations of the study, their rights, including their right to not answer questions or to leave the study at any moment, measures of confidentiality, and information regarding the supervising ethics board, which were all available on the Term of Free and Informed Consent (TFIC), before signing it. The TFIC was signed by all participants and guardians provided additional signed consent for minors.

This article contributes to filling this gap by exploring the personal beliefs and social norms related to ADTS in urban (favela) communities of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between adult men (> 18 years) and girls and adolescents (G/A) (< 18 years) with a minimum 5-year age disparity. The primary objective of this study was to identify the social norms that promote and prevent ADTS, and the dynamics between individual beliefs and social norms, to provide contextualized recommendations to prevent ADTS in this setting.BMC2022-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/101345http://hdl.handle.net/10316/101345https://doi.org/10.1186/s12978-022-01437-3eng1742-4755https://doi.org/10.1186/s12978-022-01437-3Ignacio, Caroline FerrazCerdeira, LindaCislaghi, BeniaminoLauro, GiovannaBuller, Ana Mariainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-08-23T20:39:31ZPortal AgregadorONG
