Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to explore the impact of a combined intervention including a growing up milk (GUM) fortified in micronutrients and cognitive stimulation on cognitive abilities, mother-child- interaction and behavior in children of 3 to 5 years from less enriched home environments with HOME score less than 26. The control group will receive skimmed milk but no extra stimulation materials ( however, no restrictions on normal mother-child interaction). The cognitive abilities, mother-child interaction and child behavior will be assessed after a 6 months intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cognitive abilities using Wechsler Pre-School and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV), 4th Edition.

    Blind assessment achieved by dedicated pyschologists at test center through use of the Wechsler Pre-School and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV), 4th Edition questionnaire. This test is aimed at measuring overall cognitive abilities.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Parent-rating of child's development

    Measured: 24 weeks.

  2. Mother-Child interaction

    Interaction is videotaped for 10 minutes sequences and analyzed using the Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO).

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Child Behavior assessed by Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 1.5 - 5 years)

    This is a parent rated scale that obtains information about young children behaviors and is applicable for children aged 1.5 - 5 years.
