All children residing in Ningshan County - a randomly selected poor, rural county in Shaanxi Province, China - aged 6 to 36 months at the beginning of the study on 01/06/2018 will be invited to participate in the study together with their main caregivers.
We randomly selected one county from a list of all poor counties in Shaanxi Province. All counties that were not nationally-designated poverty counties were excluded from the list. We refined our sample to nationally-poverty counties because poor, rural areas are known to have larger problems with responsive parenting and child development.
We are not excluding any 6- to 36-month-olds living in Ningshan County on June 1, 2018.
