Description
Nayapara Refugee Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, was surveyed between October and November 2021 to assess the health and nutrition status of Rohingya refugees. The Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) collected data on demography, anthropometry, anaemia, infant feeding, food security, mosquito nets, and water, sanitation and hygiene. The survey was conducted by UNHCR using mobile devices with ODK software and analyzed with ENA for SMART and Epi Info 7.
Use Cases
Assess child malnutrition and growth indicators based on anthropometry data.
Analyze food security and infant feeding practices among refugee populations.
Evaluate public health interventions based on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) indicators.
Monitor disease prevention coverage based on mosquito net usage data.
Calculate key mortality and public health indicators for camp management.
Strengths
Data collection followed standardized SENS Version 3 guidance.
Survey covers multiple critical health domains: nutrition, WASH, food security, and mortality.
Data was collected using digital mobile devices (ODK), which likely improved field accuracy.
