Abstract: Present study explored the relationship between flood-produced life-changes and mental health among Bangladeshis. Analysis revealed that our frequent-flood group experienced more material and psychological changes, and poorer well-being than our occasional-flood group. Moreover, material change rather than psychological change was reliably associated with mental health, but only in occasional-flood group.
