The iRRRd team has published a paper on Predictors of antenatal care utilization among the Rohingya population in the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

We're excited that the latest article from our iRRRd prenatal birth cohort in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh is now out! See the post below for details. This paper adds important evidence on maternal health care access in humanitarian settings, drawing on data from our ongoing study in Cox's Bazar.

The paper reflects a close collaboration between early-career scholars, senior researchers, and field teams, and highlights how context-specific constraints—particularly mobility and timing—shape antenatal care use even where services are widely available.

Congratulations to Daniel Simon, Duja Michael, @Md. Sajjadur Rahman, Caroline Hiott, AK Rahim, Kazi Istiaque Sanin, Fahmida Tofail, Alice Wuermli and everyone who contributed to this work.

We’re glad to see this paper out in the world and contributing to ongoing conversations about how to strengthen maternal health systems for displaced and crisis-affected populations.
