The sudden deterioration in living conditions due to the overlapping crises may have influenced Syrian refugees' preferences towards limiting their number of children or delaying having children until the situation improves.

These findi…

This displacement has resulted in an estimated population of nearly 1 million Rohingya living in Cox's Bazar. METHODS: …
Ideal Age at First Birth and Associated Factors Among Young Adults in Greater New York City
Despite increases at age at first birth in the United States, we have little research on how individuals conceptualize the ideal age to have a child.

We find factors associated with an age being ideal tend to fall in four main domains: structural/social position factors, inter…

Marriage and sexual and reproductive health of Rohingya adolescents and youth in Bangladesh
This qualitative study focuses specifically on displaced Rohingya adolescents and youth (ages 14–24) and explores how the crisis has impacted their sexual and reproductive health (SRH), marriage practices, safety and security, and related attitudes and aspirations. This research aims to identify approaches to improve adolescents' knowledge of SRH issues and their access to and uptake of services, and to identify gaps in programming knowledge and …
