This study was conducted on 50 universities in Bangladesh to investigate the overall health conditions of the university newcomers (N = 605) in six academic sessions from 2016 to 2022. The study showed that more than half of the students (52.6%) became physically sick after admission. The majority (81.5%) of the respondents felt mental pressure, and the maximum (83.3%) were concerned about their mental health condition, which is often unnoticed for this group of students. This also highlighted that during COVID-19, participants' mental health deteriorated drastically (71.7%). Nevertheless, the medical centers of the respective institutions were completely heedless in the majority (79.3%) of cases. Lastly, the respondents themselves tried to provide appropriate suggestions that will be helpful for the future well-being management of the newcomers. Thus, unveiling the overall health condition of newcomers is necessary so that every respective individual becomes aware of the condition and the current situation changes into a student-friendly and lively environment.

This cross-sectional study, conducted between December 1, 2023, and February 1, 2024, intended to identify the substantial risk factors of children's mental health (CMH) development in Bangladesh. The data were collected using two-phase sampling through a questionnaire filled out by trained interviewers. To test the normality of the dependent variable, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were applied, and the tests confirmed the non-normality assumption (P < 0.05) of the study variables. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were applied as bivariate analyses, and generalized gamma regression was performed to determine the significant risk factors of mental development. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were the measuring parameters of the risk factors of CMH. The results revealed that early childhood disease (OR 0.9537, CI 0.93-0.97, p = 0.000769), monthly family income (OR 0.9247, CI 0.87-0.98, p = 0.015046), and providing supplementary food sometimes (OR 1.0583, CI 1.02-1.09, p = 0.001819) were significant socio-economic factors influencing CMH.
