: This study was a secondary data analysis of the BDHS. The population-based datasets exist in the public domain and are available online with all the identifier information removed. Approval was sought from MEASURE DHS/ICF International and the authors were granted permission to access and use the data. The original DHS data were collected in conformity with international and national ethical guidelines. DHS Program is consistent with the standards for ensuring the protection of respondents’ privacy. ICF International ensures that the survey complies with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations for the respect of human subjects. Written consent was obtained from mothers/caregivers and data were recorded anonymously at the time of data collection during the BDHS 2018. The DHS project sought and obtained the required ethical approval before the survey was conducted. Therefore, no further approval was required for this study.
