Testing measures of refugee camp environment, caregiver mental health, and child social-emotional development among the Rohingya in Cox's Bazaar

In this brief, the fourth in our series,  Global TIES researchers show that through analyses of instruments  measuring caregivers' perceptions of refugee camp environment, caregiver  mental health, and children's social-emotional development, there are  reasons for optimism in using these particular scales with the Rohingya  community in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Results suggest that the measures  examined show generally strong internal reliability and can be  successfully adapted for use in this context and they were associated with each other in meaningful ways. In  addition to highlighting promising results, this brief also provides a  snapshot of the steps involved in selecting, adapting, and testing these  scales to examine their suitability and prepare them for large-scale  use.
