Bangladesh: Schizophrenia and autism treatment, services, and societal attitudes

On this page you can download our report Bangladesh: Schizophrenia and autism treatment, services, and societal attitudes, produced by Asylos' volunteer network.

This research report was produced in response to information needs of people seeking asylum. This report is part of a new initiative in which we make a selection of our bespoke research available publicly. In making this report widely accessible, we hope that the report can contribute to fair and evidence-based decision making in as many asylum cases as possible.

Findings in this report are presented in order of relevance to the research questions.

This Country of Origin Information (COI) report is intended as background reference material for legal representatives and those assisting asylum seekers. The COI report should be used as a tool to help identify relevant COI. It is imperative that legal representatives and those assisting asylum seekers read the whole COI report and consider whether, having done so, the report is, on balance likely to support the specific case in which it is proposed to rely upon it. Please also note that it may be appropriate for legal representatives to seek additional individualised information.
