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 Bangladesh The study covered Bhasan Char Island, located in Hatiya Upazila, Noakhali District, Chittagong Division, Bangladesh. Households The population group covered in the study was all Rohingya refugee households residing on Bhasan Char Island at the time of the survey in September 2024. Sample survey data [ssd] United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Concern Worldwide National Nutrition Services (NNS) World Food Programme (WFP) United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) BRAC Gonoshasthaya Kendra (GK) Training and Management International (RTMI) Friendship The survey used simple random sampling to select households from the UNHCR ProGres registration database. The defined address system on Bhasan Char facilitated accurate household identification. Face-to-face [f2f] The standard version 3 of the SENS questionnaires was used, which includes demographic, health, nutrition, food security, infant and young child feeding, mosquito net, and WASH modules. Data was collected via face-to-face interviews using electronic tablets running the ODK application. The standard SENS version 3 questionnaire was used, adapted with technical support from CartONG. Community health and nutrition workers supported the identification of sampled households. Enumerators received daily feedback and supervision, and anthropometric data was validated using the Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) software for SMART. No sampling weights were applied. All selected households were considered self-weighted due to the simple random sampling design. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) (2025).
