Study Summary

This study aims to experimentally test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of competing models of delivery of an Early Childhood Development (ECD) intervention in rural Kenya to determine how to maximize their reach to improve child cognitive, language and relevant psychosocial outcomes. The study will also include a longer-term evaluation of sustained impacts; an examination of the pathways of change leading to intervention impacts to inform policy; and examination of the role of paternal involvement on child development. Findings will provide policy makers with rigorous evidence of how best to expand ECD interventions in low-resource rural settings to improve child developmental outcomes for both the short-and longer-term.

Primary Outcome

The official age-standardized cognitive, receptive language, and expressive language scales have 0-19 ranges with higher values denoting better scores. At month 11/endline survey, cognitive, receptive language, and expressive language scales were collected. At baseline, cognitive and receptive language were coll
