Psychosocial Scales in the Young Lives Round 4 Survey: Selection, Adaptation and Validation

The importance of positive psychosocial functioning for children’s current wellbeing and for their future outcomes is recognised across a range of disciplines, yet research on the psychosocial development of individuals in developing countries is in its infancy.

Young Lives has contributed to closing this knowledge gap through extensive data collection on a range of measures of psychosocial skill domains, administered in schools and households in developing countries, where large-scale survey data that include measures of psychosocial constructs are rare.

Maternal group participation and child nutritional status in Peru

Using data from the Peruvian sample of the Young Lives study, this paper investigates the association between maternal group participation and child nutritional status at the ages of 1 and 5 years. This study finds that the relationship between child nutrition and maternal group participation depends on the level of maternal education. In fact, maternal group participation is positively associated with child height‐for‐age when children were 1 year old, for those children whose mothers had had no formal education. This same association fades at 5 years of age.
