Combined Nutrition and Parenting Study
Sponsor: University of South Carolina
Summary
This study aims to evaluate whether early childhood development is improved by a bundled set of interventions that promote responsive stimulation and improved nutrition by the provision of eggs and dried fish (nutrient-dense animal source foods), and whether, in combination, these stimulation and nutrition interventions are more effective than responsive stimulation or food provision alone.
