Declarations
:
: Since this study was based on secondary analysis of the data obtained from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHSs), 2007–2014, no ethical approval was needed for this study. The BDHS surveys were reviewed and approved by the ICF Macro Institutional Review Board (USA) and complies with all the requirements of 45 CFR 46—"Protection of Human Subjects". The BDHS was also reviewed and approved by the National Research Ethics Committee of the Bangladesh Medical. Research Council (Dhaka, Bangladesh). The survey ensured international ethical standards of confidentiality, anonymity, and informed consent. However, a request to access datasets from the Measure DHS website is made, and the websites have allowed the same before analyses are made.
