PDF File Size: 1.02 MB | Download   
A Behavioural Surveillance Study (BSS) was undertaken in seven refugee camps and selected surrounding host community sites in south-eastern Nepal in October and November 2005. This information will be used to strengthen HIV prevention programs in these two populations, track changes in HIV-related knowledge and behaviours over time and assess the impact of HIV prevention activities.
A total of 1600 households in the refugee camps and host community sites were surveyed. A standard HIV BSS questionnaire was adapted and included questions related to forced migration. Households were selected by systematic random sampling. All members of selected households between 15-49 years old were eligible respondents. Informed consent was obtained from all survey participants.
