Children of the Millennium: Growing Up with the MDGs

At the turn of the century, huge optimism surrounded the global commitment to the MDGs. Many of the goals related to children and childhood, including ending poverty and hunger, expanding enrolment in primary education, and improving access to clean water and sanitation. If we can get things right at the start of a child’s life, the world agreed, we have a chance to stop poverty and inequality being passed down through the generations.

Maternal mental health, and child growth and development, in four low-income and middle-income countries
Objective

Extend analyses of maternal mental health and infant growth in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to children through age eight years, and broaden analyses to cognitive and psychosocial outcomes.

Design

Community-based longitudinal cohort study in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam. Surveys and anthropometric assessments were carried out when the children were approximately ages 1, 5 and 8 years. Risk of maternal common mental disorders (rCMDs) was assessed with the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ)-20 (score ≥8).

Does Pre-school Improve Cognitive Abilities among Children with Early-life Stunting?

Several studies in developing countries have found that children who experience growth faltering in the first years of life show lower cognitive abilities than their peers. In this study, we use the Young Lives longitudinal dataset in Peru to analyse whether attending pre-school affects cognitive abilities at age 5 years, and if there is an interaction with HAZ at age 1 year. Using instrumental variables we found, for receptive vocabulary, a positive effect of attending Jardines (formal pre-schools); the effect of attending PRONOEI (community-based) pre-schools was not significant.
