Overview
Brief Summary
Children of mothers in the intervention parenting program are expected to show benefits over the standard care control group in terms of better cognitive/language development, less recent illness, and better height for age. The mothers assigned to the intervention parenting program are expected to evidence higher levels of home stimulation, better health prevention, and better dietary diversity, along with more accurate knowledge of child development.
Detailed Description
There are actually two intervention groups: in one the program is delivered by trained peer educators from the village, and in the other the program is delivered by trained government personnel.
