Evaluation Timeline

•We have chosen not to specify when baseline data collection will begin due to uncertainty over COVID-related local travel restrictions.

•The baseline data collection will last approx. Twenty-four to Twenty-six weeks for all groups.

•Quantitative data collection for control and intervention groups will begin together at baseline, and repeat at 12 and 24 months. Quantitative data collection will be staggered, such that for each cluster, data will be collected exactly 12 months apart to avoid seasonal effects.

•Qualitative data collection for both the intervention and control groups will also take place 12 months apart, between quantitative data collection periods.

•Qualitative data collection from *broader community, e.g. facilitators, community leaders/village chief, healthcare professionals, will follow initial analysis of intervention group interviews, as these will suggest the types of people in the community who are likely to have a mediating effect on the intervention.
