Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with increasing prevalence worldwide, including in Bangladesh. This study investigated prenatal, perinatal, and environmental risk factors associated with ASD in northeastern Bangladesh, where data on the disorder is scarce. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 168 children diagnosed with ASD (CWA), 167 typically developing children (TDC), and 185 unaffected siblings (Sib), recruited from five government-approved specialized schools in Sylhet, northeastern Bangladesh. Diagnoses were confirmed using a modified ADI-R/ADOS, and logistic regression was used to analyze associated risk factors. Advanced maternal age, firstborn status, and a history of consanguinity were significant prevalence of prenatal/perinatal complications, including birth asphyxia and blood Rh incompatibility, compared to TDC and Sib. A considerable gap in scientific awareness was noted, with many parents attributing their child’s condition to associated with ASD. Parental exposure to mercury-based dental amalgam was also strongly linked to ASD. CWA had a higher generational or religious belief. We identified critical risk factors contributing to the high prevalence of ASD in northeastern Bangladesh, underscoring the need for enhanced diagnostic, educational, and healthcare strategies to ensure good health and well-being and to provide quality education for individuals with ASD.

Prominently accountable for the upsurge of COVID‐19 cases as the world attempts to recover from the previous two waves, Omicron has further threatened the conventional therapeutic approaches. The lack of extensive research regarding Omicron has raised the need to establish correlations to understand this variant by structural comparisons. Here, we evaluate, correlate, and compare its genomic sequences through an immunoinformatic approach to understand its epidemiological characteristics and responses to existing drugs. We reconstructed the phylogenetic tree and compared the mutational spectrum. We analyzed the mutations that occurred in the Omicron variant and correlated how these mutations affect infectivity and pathogenicity. Then, we studied how mutations in the receptor‐binding domain affect its interaction with host factors through molecular docking. Finally, we evaluated the drug efficacy against the main protease of the Omicron through molecular docking and validated the docking results with molecular dynamics simulation.  Phylogenetic and mutational analysis revealed the Omicron variant is similar to the highly infectious B.1.620 variant, while mutations within the prominent proteins are hypothesized to alter its pathogenicity. Moreover, docking evaluations revealed significant differences in binding affinity with human receptors, angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 and NRP1. Surprisingly, most of the tested drugs were proven to be effective. Nirmatrelvir, 13b, and Lopinavir displayed increased effectiveness against Omicron. Omicron variant may be originated from the highly infectious B.1.620 variant, while it was less pathogenic due to the mutations in the prominent proteins. Nirmatrelvir, 13b, and Lopinavir would be the most effective, compared to other promising drugs that were proven effective.

Introduction: Internal migration is essential to understand the population dynamics and the multifaceted relationship between population and development of a nation. In Bangladesh, the study of international migration is more frequent due to its socioeconomic importance and data availability. However, the study of internal migration is less frequent as there lie complexities in measuring internal migration, and data are less available. Thus, this paper aimed to explore the dynamics of internal in Bangladesh. 

Data and methods: We utilized data from the Bangladesh Population and Housing Census 1991–2011. The number of internal migrants was estimated using the United Nations Manual on Methods of Measuring Internal Migration- Manual VI. District-wise lifetime and net internal migration rate were the dependent variables where several socioeconomic variables were used as independent variables. The correlation and the stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were employed. 

Results: Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj, and all the Divisional cities have the highest in-migration rate, whereas the northern and southern districts of Bangladesh have the highest out-migration rate. The regression model showed that activity rate appeared to be the strongest predictor (β = 0.419, P<0.001) of net migration for 2011, followed by city corporation (β = 0.275, P<0.01) and poverty rate (β = -0.246, P<0.01). However, the lifetime internal migration rate was 9.8% in 2011. The pooled model (1991–2011) for lifetime internal migration showed that activity rate (β = 0.408, P<0.001), population density (β = 0.386, P<0.001), literacy rate (β = 0.341, P<0.001), and city corporation (β = 0.139, P<0.01) were the significant factors of internal migration. Marriage, looking for a job, employment/business, education, and natural calamities were the reasons for internal migration. 

Discussion and conclusion: The destinations of migrants are few developed and urbanized cities which needs particular attention in policy planning. If the current migration trends continue, few cities will have an excessive population, which will increase density and pollution, thereby decreasing living standards. Thus, along with comprehensive urban planning, decentralization of government and private institutions must be ensured. Since the rural to urban migration rate is high, the findings recommend more development and concentration in the rural area. Finally, education, training, and work opportunities for migrants should be safeguarded in the area of origin.

Introduction: Studies related to the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy are scanty in Bangladesh, despite the

growing necessity of understanding the population behavior related to vaccination. Thus,

the present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

and its associated factors in Bangladesh to fill the knowledge gap.

Methods and materials: This study adopted a cross-sectional design to collect data from 1497 respondents using

online (Google forms) and face-to-face interviews from eight administrative divisions of Bangladesh

between 1–7 February 2021. We employed descriptive statistics and multiple logistic

regression analysis.

Results: The prevalence of vaccine hesitancy was 46.2%. The Muslims (aOR = 1.80, p ≤ 0.01) and

the respondents living in the city corporation areas (aOR = 2.14, p ≤0.001) had more hesitancy.

There was significant variation in vaccine hesitancy by administrative divisions (geographic

regions). Compared to the Sylhet division, the participants from Khulna (aOR =

1.31, p ≤0.001) had higher hesitancy. The vaccine hesitancy tended to decrease with

increasing knowledge about the vaccine (aOR = 0.88, p ≤0.001) and the vaccination process

(aOR = 0.91, p ≤ 0.01). On the other hand, hesitancy increased with the increased

negative attitudes towards the vaccine (aOR = 1.17, p ≤0.001) and conspiracy beliefs

towards the COVID-19 vaccine (aOR = 1.04, p ≤0.01). The perceived benefits of COVID-19

vaccination (aOR = 0.85, p≤0.001) were negatively associated with hesitancy, while

perceived barriers (aOR = 1.16, p ≤0.001) were positively associated. The participants

were more hesitant to accept the vaccine from a specific country of origin (India, USA,

Europe).

Conclusions: Our findings warrant that a vigorous behavior change communication campaign should be

designed and implemented to demystify negative public attitudes and conspiracy beliefs

regarding the COVID-19 Vaccine in Bangladesh. The policymakers should also think about

revisiting the policy of the online registration process to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as

online registration is a key structural barrier for many due to the persistent digital divide in

the country. Finally, the government should consider the population’s preference regarding

vaccines’ country of manufacture to reduce the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and investigate the constellations of psychological determinants of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among the Bangladeshi adult population utilizing the health belief model-HBM (perceived susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19, perceived benefits of and barriers to COVID-19 vaccination, and cues to action), the theory of planned behavior-TPB (attitude toward COVID-19 vaccine, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and anticipated regret), and the 5C psychological antecedents (confidence, constraints, complacency, calculation, and collective responsibility). We compared the predictability of these theoretical frameworks to see which framework explains the highest variance in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. This study adopted a cross-sectional research design. We collected data from a nationally representative sample of 1,497 respondents through both online and face-to-face interviews. We employed multiple linear regression analysis to assess the predictability of each model of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. We found a 41.1% prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among our study respondents. After controlling the effects of socio-economic, demographic, and other COVID-19 related covariates, we found that the TPB has the highest predictive power (adjusted R2 = 0.43), followed by the 5C psychological antecedents of vaccination (adjusted R2 = 0.32) and the HBM (adjusted R2 = 0.31) in terms of explaining total variance in the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among the adults of Bangladesh. This study provides evidence that theoretical frameworks like the HBM, the TPB, and the 5C psychological antecedents can be used to explore the psychological determinants of vaccine hesitancy, where the TPB has the highest predictability. Our findings can be used to design targeted interventions to reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase vaccine uptake to prevent COVID-19.

The state in Bangladesh has instituted a series of policies and practices during the COVID-19 pandemic that reflects structural stigma. Stigma is now considered a complex phenomenon rather than just one set of beliefs. Thus, the level and correlates of stigma toward individuals and households that have become positive with the Coronavirus are of critical interest and importance. This article describes the nature of the Bangladesh government’s unusual labeling practices as a structural stigma and examines the stigma levels among Bangladeshi adults. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,056 adult respondents. We used 10 Likert items (α = 0.630) to measure the level of stigmatized attitudes related to COVID-19. The data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, and correlation coefficients to identify the factors associated with the dependent variable at the bivariate level. The multiple linear regression model was also fitted. The findings of the study show that 90.8% of the respondents had at least one stigmatized attitude. The regression analysis result shows that marital status, educational attainment, place of residence, risk perception, and attitudes toward COVID-19 were the most significant factors of stigmatized attitudes among the population in Bangladesh. This study suggests that state-sponsored labeling of COVID-19 positive people should be stopped immediately, and the privacy and confidentiality of the COVID-19 positive people should be appropriately maintained. Health education programs should also be adopted for all age groups to decrease negative attitudes toward this disease by increasing their knowledge and awareness for preventing COVID-19.

This study assessed the preparedness regarding the preventive practices toward the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among the adult population in Bangladesh. Data were collected through an online survey with a sample size of 1,056. We constructed four variables (individual, household, economic, and community and social distancing) related to preparedness based on the principal component analysis of eight items. We employed descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the accuracy rate of the overall preparedness scale was 68.9%. The preparedness level related to economic, individual, household, and community and social distancing was 64.9, 77.1, 50.4, and 83.2%, respectively. However, the economic preparedness significantly varied by sex, education, occupation, attitude, and worries related to COVID-19. Individual preparedness was significantly associated with education, residence, and attitudes. The household preparedness significantly varied by education, residence, and worries, while the respondent's community and social distancing-related preparedness significantly varied by sex, region, residence, and attitude. This study implies the necessity of the coverage of financial schemes for the vulnerable group. Increased coverage of health education regarding personal hygiene targeting the less educated and rural population should be ensured.

The Government of Bangladesh has adopted several non-therapeutic measures to tackle the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2. However, the curve of COVID-19 positive cases has not significantly flattened yet, as the adoption of preventive measures by the general population is predominantly a behavioral phenomenon that is often influenced by people's knowledge and attitudes. This study aimed to assess the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behavioral practices toward COVID-19 and their interrelationships among the population of Bangladesh aged 18 years and above. This study adopted a web-based cross-sectional survey design and collected data from 1056 respondents using the online platform Google Form. We employed the independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and Spearman rank-order correlation to produce the bivariate level statistics. We also run multiple linear and logistic regression models to identify the factors affecting knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behavioral practices toward COVID-19. The respondents had an average knowledge score of 17.29 (Standard Deviation (SD) = 3.30). The average score for attitude scale toward COVID-19 was 13.6 (SD = 3.7). The respondents had excellent preventive behavioral practices toward COVID-19 (mean 7.7, SD = 0.72). However, this study found that knowledge and attitudes did not matter for preventive behavioral practices toward COVID-19. Instead, education appeared as a sole predictor for preventive behavioral practices toward COVID-19; that means preventive behavioral practices toward COVID-19 was lower among the less educated respondents. This study suggests increasing education as a long-term strategy and taking immediate action to increase knowledge and decrease negative attitudes toward COVID-19 through targeted health education initiatives as a short-term strategy.

Background: The Government of Bangladesh offers COVID-19 vaccines at no cost; however, sustaining this free vaccination program for a large population poses significant challenges. Thus, assessing the willingness to pay (WTP) for the COVID-19 vaccine is essential for understanding potential pricing strategies, subsidy requirements, and vaccine demand.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of WTP for the COVID-19 vaccine and its correlates.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from 1497 respondents through web-based platform and face-to-face interviews. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the correlates of the WTP.

Results: The results showed that 772 of 1497 (51.6%) participants were willing to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine, with a median of 300 BDT (IQR 150-500 BDT; a currency exchange rate of 1 BDT=US $0.008 is applicable). The WTP was significantly higher among individuals with a graduate degree (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.98, 95% CI 1.14-3.45) or master’s and MPhil or PhD-level education (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.07-3.48) and those with higher knowledge about the vaccine (aOR 1.09, 95% CI 1.02-1.15), positive behavioral practices (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.06-1.17), stronger subjective norms regarding COVID-19 vaccine (aOR 1.25, 95% CI 1.08-1.46), and higher anticipated regret of getting infected with COVID-19 (aOR 1.17, 95% CI 1.04-1.32). Conversely, WTP was lower among participants with negative attitudes toward vaccines (aOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.88‐0.95) and high perceived behavioral control regarding COVID-19 vaccination (aOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.76‐0.96; P=.006).

Conclusions: With nearly half of the respondents unwilling to pay, this study highlights the need to improve vaccine-related knowledge and enhance income-based affordability to increase WTP. Health promotion efforts should focus on disseminating knowledge about vaccines and addressing negative perceptions. Additionally, a subsidized program for low-income groups can help mitigate financial barriers and promote equitable access to vaccines.

The Universal Pension Scheme (UPS) was launched in Bangladesh in August 2023 to enhance economic security for the aging population. Despite extensive government promotion, the participation rate remains low, underscoring the critical role of public awareness. Awareness is essential for engagement in any voluntary program and directly impacts its success and sustainability. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate awareness of the UPS and its correlates among the Bangladeshi population. The study's sample size was 1624, and the respondents were from the 18–50 age group from seven administrative divisions in Bangladesh, utilizing a cross-sectional quantitative study design. Age-weighted adjustments were applied to make the study sample representative of the national population in terms of age. Results showed that 47.6 % of respondents were aware of UPS. Awareness significantly varied by respondents' age, education, gender, religion, household income, place of residence, and administrative divisions. Multivariable binary logistic regression revealed that respondents aged 46–50 (aOR = 1.911; 95 %CI = 1.155, 3.164), men (aOR = 1.889; 95 %CI = 1.502, 2.376), individuals with Master's and higher education (aOR = 11.909; 95 %CI = 7.599, 18.664), and respondents from 30001 to 40000 BDT income group (aOR = 2.037; 95 %CI = 1.218, 3.406) had significantly higher odds of awareness. Compared to Dhaka, awareness was lower in Chattogram (aOR = 0.678; 95 %CI = 0.467, 0.984) and Rajshahi (aOR = 0.617; 95 %CI = 0.428, 0.889), but higher in Mymensingh (aOR = 2.251; 95 %CI = 1.390, 3.644), and Khulna (aOR = 2.043; 95 %CI = 1.384, 3.013). These findings highlight the need for targeted promotional strategies, including community outreach programs, social gatherings, diverse advertising platforms, and mobile service delivery, to effectively reach youth, individuals with lower education and income levels, and various geographical areas. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssaho.2025.101608

Premarital sexual behavior is still a sensitive and understudied topic in Bangladesh, where traditional norms emphasize chastity before marriage. While prior research has focused on youth and university students, little is known about the prevalence and correlates of premarital sex (PMS) among ever-married women at the population level. This study addressed this gap by analyzing four rounds of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data (2011–2022) utilizing a multilevel analytical framework. PMS was measured indirectly by comparing the respondents’ ages at first marriage and first sexual intercourse. The findings revealed a sharp increase in PMS over time, from 1.5% in 2011 to 27.8% in 2022, with significant variations across demographic, socioeconomic, and community-level factors. Younger age, higher education, mass media exposure, female-headed households, and residence in affluent communities were strong predictors, whereas regional disparities were more prevalent in Sylhet, Chattogram, and Dhaka. These trends suggest shifting sexual norms, likely driven by modernization, mobility, and greater access to information. Our study underscores the need for further research on sociocultural transformations shaping sexual behavior in Bangladesh and calls for open and critical discussions on how public health interventions and educational programs can adapt to these evolving realities. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-025-03299-9

Globally, sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations endure pervasive violence and discrimination throughout their lives. However, in Bangladesh, like many other low- and middle-income countries, there exists a notable gap in research regarding the specific forms and patterns of violence experienced by SGM populations. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological design to capture the lived experiences of violence among SGM individuals. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 SGM individuals. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify the key types and contexts of violence. Findings revealed that SGM people are often neglected by their families, bullied by their peers and teachers at school, and rejected by healthcare providers due to their identity. Notably, sexual violence exhibits distinct typologies, with Preconscious sexual violence and verbal sexual abuse emerging as common forms, particularly during the victim’s early childhood when awareness of sexuality is absent. The perpetrators of violence encompass a broad spectrum, ranging from immediate family members and friends to intimate partners and law enforcement personnel. These findings highlight the urgent need for policy and social action. Specifically, the introduction of a comprehensive anti-discrimination law is crucial to protect the rights of SGM individuals. Nationwide public education campaigns should be implemented to promote understanding and respect for the SGM population. Such initiatives are critical for reducing stigma and fostering a more inclusive society in Bangladesh.  https://doi.org/10.1007/s12119-025-10487-1
