Background: Better sanitation and hygiene standards are beneficial for preventing infections, limiting the spread of pathogens, and fostering overall health in educational environments. On the other hand, not much is known about school-student's hygiene and sanitation habits. The purpose of this study is to identify and comprehend the variables that affect students' behavior related to sanitation and hygiene in classrooms. Method: This study was carried out at the Katiadi Government High School, a high school in a Bangladeshi upazilla town. An exploratory qualitative study design, based on the Integrated Behavioral Model for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (IBM-WASH) was used. Before utilizing them, the effectiveness and clarity of the semi-structured interview guides were tested, which included questions about behavior, access, and practices related to sanitation and hygiene. Result: The students had quite low sanitation and hygiene practices despite having a reasonable level of awareness and knowledge. Sanitation and hygiene practices were influenced by a wide range of interrelated factors, which also affected one another. Contextual factors (lack of upkeep and cleanliness, availability of sanitary products), socio-behavioral factors (norms, peer influence), and individual factors (gender awareness, perception, and sense of health benefits). Conclusion: To advance improved sanitation and hygiene practices among school students, multi-level interventions such as regular delivery of WASH-related materials and agents, promotion of low-cost WASH interventions, quality cleaning services improvement, close observation of cleaning activities, individual hygiene behavior promotion, and introduction of gender-sensitive WASH infrastructure and construction may be helpful.

Although the prevalence of hypertension and related conditions is rising, there is currently little usage of functional foods as a therapy. Nutrients and bioactive substances found in bananas can help to prevent and treat a number of degenerative diseases. This study is to ascertain the impact of banana (Musa acuminata) on teenage student’s liver function, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. The 32 respondents that made up the complete population provided samples for this experimental study. Blood pressure, liver function, and lipid function were assessed both before and after consuming bananas. The data in this study were analyzed using a paired t test. The majority of responders were in the fourteen-year-old age group, with the number of 13(40.62%) and 17(53.12%) in the ninth grade, while fewer number were in the eighth grade, with 5(15.62%). The results of the study showed that students liver function did not show considerable outcome, but their blood pressure changed considerably before and after eating bananas over the allotted time period and their lipid function levels (triglycerides and total cholesterol) also differed considerably. In conclusion, eating bananas might help to prevent degenerative diseases by decreasing blood pressure and maintaining low lipid levels in young people. Keywords: Blood pressure, Liver function, Lipid function, Potassium, Triglycerides
