  • Growth and cognition over eight years in three sites of the MAL-ED cohort study

    Open AccessAmber R Huggins, Rebecca J Scharf et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The objective of this study was to examine if height at 2 years, 5 years, and 6–8 years of age was related to school-age cognitive development in low resource settings. Some studies report improved scores in those who catch up, while others found no improvement. We hypothesize that persistent stunting will be negatively associated with cognition and that children who experienced catch-up growth would show improved cognition.Follow-up anthropometr…

  • Enteric pathogen carriage in early childhood is associated with elevated CRP, lower IGF-1 and linear growth deficits

    Open AccessMark D DeBoer, Sarah Elwood et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Introduction Globally, enteric pathogens have been associated with poor child growth and development. Our aim was to assess for predictors, consequences and potential mechanisms of enteric pathogen burden morbidity among children in rural Tanzania. Methods We performed a secondary data analysis of 1140 children from the Early-Life Interventions for Childhood Growth and Development in Tanzania (ELICIT) study, assessing stool samples from ages 6, 1…

  • Safer Births Bundle of Care” Implementation and Perinatal Impact at 30 Hospitals in Tanzania—Halfway Evaluation

    Open AccessHege Ersdal, Paschal Mdoe et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) consists of innovative clinical and training tools for improved labour care and newborn resuscitation, integrated with new strategies for continuous quality improvement. After implementation, we hypothesised a reduction in 24-h newborn deaths, fresh stillbirths, and maternal deaths by 50%, 20%, and 10%, respectively. This is a 3-year stepped-wedged cluster randomised implementation study, including 30 facilities…

  • Use of Suctioning during Newborn Resuscitation and Its Effects on Heart Rate in a Low-Resource Setting, Tanzania

    Open AccessCarolyn Purington, Joar Eilevstjønn et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Suctioning of newborns immediately after birth, as part of delivery room resuscitation, is only recommended if the airway is obstructed. The aim of this study was to describe the use of suctioning during newborn resuscitation among survivors versus those who died within 3 days and potential suction-related heart rate responses and associations to newborn characteristics. This was a retrospective observational study from July 2013 to July 2016 in …

  • Roadblocks and resilience

    Open AccessKristen Petros de Guex, Domitila Augustino et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2023

    Distinct from quantifying the economic sequelae of tuberculosis (TB) in adults, data are scarce regarding lived experiences of youth and their caregivers seeking and sustaining TB treatment in low income communities. Children ages 4-17 diagnosed with TB and their caregivers were recruited from rural and semi-urban northern Tanzania. Using a grounded theory approach, a qualitative interview guide was developed, informed by exploratory research. Tw…

  • Multiple micronutrients fortified salt

    Open AccessPaschal Mdoe, Venkatesh Mannar et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Quadruple-fortified salt and double-fortified salt are equally acceptable and have similar sensory scores as standard iodized salt when used to cook commonly eaten dishes in the study population

  • Influences on catch-up growth using relative versus absolute metrics

    Open AccessStephanie A Richard, Benjamin J J Mccormick et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The study children demonstrated improved growth from 24 to 60 months of age, but only a subset had positive changes in HAD and WAD. The same environmental factors were associated with growth from 24 to 60 months regardless of metric used (change in HAZ or HAD, or WAZ and WAD)

  • Factors associated with head circumference and indices of cognitive development in early childhood

    Open AccessLaura Nicolaou, Tahmeed Ahmed et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: While head circumference (HC) has been related to intracranial volume and brain size, its association with cognitive function remains unclear. We sought to understand the relationship among various biological and socioeconomic risk factors, HC and cognitive development. METHODS: We analysed data across resource-poor settings in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Peru, South Africa and Tanzania from the Etiology, Risk Factors and Interactions o…

  • Associations between Household-Level Exposures and All-Cause Diarrhea and Pathogen-Specific Enteric Infections in Children Enrolled in Five Sentinel Surveillance Studies

    Open AccessJosh M Colston, Abu Syed Golam Faruque et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Diarrheal disease remains a major cause of childhood mortality and morbidity causing poor health and economic outcomes. In low-resource settings, young children are exposed to numerous risk factors for enteric pathogen transmission within their dwellings, though the relative importance of different transmission pathways varies by pathogen species. The objective of this analysis was to model associations between five household-level risk factors-w…

  • Psychosocial and environmental determinants of child cognitive development in rural south africa and tanzania

    Open AccessFabrizio Drago, Rebecca J Scharf et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    This study shows a stronger association with child cognitive development at 5 years of age for socioeconomic status compared to more proximal measures of psychosocial and environmental determinants. A better understanding of the role of these factors is needed to inform interventions aiming to alleviate the burden of compromised cognitive development for children in LMICs

  • Early childhood growth and cognitive outcomes

    Open AccessRebecca J Scharf, Elizabeth T Rogawski et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2018

    Although many studies around the world hope to measure or improve developmental progress in children to promote community flourishing and productivity, growth is sometimes used as a surrogate because cognitive skills are more difficult to measure. Our objective was to assess how childhood measures of anthropometry correlate with measures of child development in low-income settings with high prevalence of poor nutrition and enteric disease, to inf…

  • Associations of land, cattle and food security with infant feeding practices among a rural population living in Manyara, Tanzania

    Open AccessBailey Hanselman, Ramya Ambikapathi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Health promotion programs are needed to delay the introduction of animal milks and grain-based porridge, and to achieve a minimum acceptable diet after 6 months of age among smallholder farmers in rural Tanzania. Results highlight that livelihoods-based health promotion interventions, built from a flexible and integrated design, may be an important strategy to address community-level variation in infant feeding practices and promote optimal IYCF …
