SENS measures not only nutritional status data but also measures relevant other data related to household composition, anaemia, measles vaccination, vitamin A supplementation, diarrhoea and other health-related indicators, infant and young child feeding practices, food availability, drinking water, hygiene, latrine usage and mosquito nets at the household-level. By collecting all this data, SENS studies provide a detailed snapshot of the nutritional health of a refugee population at a given point in time. Health and Nutrition Water Sanitation Hygiene Malaria Prevention and Control Ethiopia The study covered the Mirqaan Refugee Camp, located in Bokh Woreda, Doolo Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia. Households The population group covered in the study was refugees and asylum seekers residing in Mirqaan Refugee Camp as of January 2024. Sample survey data [ssd] United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) World Food Programme (WFP) United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) Organization for Welfare and Development in Action (OWDA) Department of Refugee Services (DDS) Bokh Woreda Health Bureau Simple random sampling was used to select households from the Mirqaan Refugee Camp to include in the study. The sample size was calculated using the Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) software for SMART. A 10 percent non-response rate was assumed. Finite population correction was applied to account for the small size of the under-5 population. Prior to the survey, the Organization for Welfare and Development in Action (OWDA) conducted the household verification and labelling. Face-to-face [f2f] The standard version 3 of the SENS questionnaires was used, which includes demographic, mortality, anthropometry, child health, infant and young child feeding, food security, and WASH modules. Data was collected via face-to-face interviews using mobile phones (KoBo Collect, version 2023.2.4). Five survey teams were trained and deployed, each consisting of a team leader, an interviewer, a translator, and an anthropometric assistant. Centralized training included standardization and pilot testing. All eligible children aged 0 to 59 months in the selected households were assessed. Food Security data was collected from a sub-sample amounting to 50 percent of total households. UNHCR (2025). Ethiopia: Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS).
