COVID-19 preventive measures in Rohingya refugee camps: An assessment of knowledge, attitude and practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although many studies were conducted on COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among the general population in many countries, very little is known about refugees, particularly Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar. A vast array of risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) interventions were implemented in Cox's Bazar with the intent of reducing disease transmission by empowering the community to adopt public health measures.

Objectives

The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of COVID-19 preventive measures among the Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, and to identify their socio-demographic determinants.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 500 Rohingya individuals. Participants
