The first case of COVID19 in the Rohingya population was confirmed on 14 May 2020. At the time of this survey (September 5th - 10th 2020), there were 138 confirmed cases and 8 confirmed deaths from COVID19 in the Rohingya camps.\n\nCommunity engagement around prevention of COVID19 has been a core activity of the health sector since March and is supported by many other sectors. Activities are carried out by volunteers through door-door messaging and the use of multimedia approaches, key messages were developed by the risk communication group including the need for physical distancing, mask wearing, recognizing symptoms, and testing and treatment. \n\nThe assessment was designed to assess the effectiveness of the intense community engagement that has been done among the Rohingya population; whether people were absorbing and developing good knowledge from the communication and information outreach, and whether they were responding (through behavior change) to the information they were receiving.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2020-09-05","end":"2020-09-10","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Bangladesh","abbreviation":"BGD"}],"geog_coverage":"All 34 camps in Cox's Bazar","analysis_unit":"Individuals","universe":"All individuals registered with a phone number","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"Individuals: Basic demographics, COVID knowledge, testing, mask wearing."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"UNHCR","abbreviation":"","affiliation":""},{"name":"WHO","abbreviation":"","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"The survey was conducted by phone between September5th-10th 2020, with random samples utilizing UNHCR refugee registration database.

While this indicates that respondents have good knowledge of appropriate responses to COVID19, behavior adjustment does require further time.\n\nWhile some of the survey results around behavior may contradict other knowledge, these survey results should not be discounted or apparent contradictions around attitudes ignored.","weight":"Weights were added ex-post."}},"data_access":{"dataset_availability":{"original_archive":"United Nations Refugee Agency Microdata Library\nhttps:\/\/microdata.unhcr.org\/index.php\/catalog\/283\nOriginal Archive Study ID: UNHCR_BGD_2020_COVID_MWTK_v2.1\nCost: None"},"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"Curation Team","affiliation":"UNHCR","email":"microdata@unhcr.org","uri":""},{"name":"Bangladesh Country Office","affiliation":"UNHCR","email":" bgdcoim@unhcr.org","uri":""}],"cit_req":"UNHCR (2020) Mask-wearing, testing and knowledge of COVID-19 in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar 2020.
