The Uganda Public Health Fellowship Program, part of the National Rapid Response Team, was authorized by the Ministry of Health to access and analyze surveillance data from the District Health Information System-2, along with other relevant data, to inform outbreak control and public health programs.

The authors sought administrative clearance to conduct the investigation from the District Health authorities of Hoima District. Clearance was also sought from the administrators of the health facilities to access data about patients who had visited the facility or been admitted with a scabies diagnosis. Verbal informed consent was obtained from the participants before the start of each interview. Parental\/legal guardian verbal informed consent was obtained on behalf of all the children before the start of each interview since they were aged less than 10 years. Data which was collected did not contain individual personal identifiers as a way of ensuring confidentiality. Individuals who were clinically diagnosed with scabies were given benzyl benzoate lotion 25% to apply to the whole body from the scalp to the soles of the feet as per Uganda clinical guidelines [\n                      \n                      ].","order":2,"name":"Ethics","group":{"name":"EthicsHeading","label":"Ethical approval and consent to participate"}},{"value":"Not applicable.","order":3,"name":"Ethics","group":{"name":"EthicsHeading","label":"Consent for publication"}},{"value":"The authors declare no competing interests.","order":4,"name":"Ethics","group":{"name":"EthicsHeading","label":"Competing interests"}}],"article-number":"846"}}
