Cox’s Bazar Panel Survey (CBPS)
The CBPS investigates economic, physical, mental health and social outcomes for both refugee and non-refugee populations. The cohort includes a representative sample of recently arrived Rohingya (displaced after August 2017) and Bangladeshi households residing in close proximity to the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar and Bandarban. Baseline was conducted in 2019, and participants were followed up in 2020-2021 and 2023.
