  • Disparities in deworming coverage between children with and without disabilities

    Open AccessShanquan Chen, Rohan Michael Ramesh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    BACKGROUND: Children with disabilities experience lower school enrolment rates and may be systematically excluded from school-based deworming programmes. The DeWorm3 trial provided an opportunity to evaluate whether community-wide mass drug administration (cMDA) could reduce these disparities by reaching children outside the education system. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of the data from the DeWorm3 trial in Tamil Nadu, India. Child…

  • Early Childhood Stimulating Environment Predicts Later Childhood Resilience in an Indian Longitudinal Birth Cohort Study

    Open AccessBeena Koshy, Manikandan Srinivasan et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Follow-up of an Indian birth cohort showed that in addition to concurrent cognitive abilities, childhood resilience was related to early childhood stimulating home environment. Promoting optimal stimulating home environments in low-resource settings to nurture holistic childhood development including mental health is essential

  • Developmental trends in early childhood and their predictors from an Indian birth cohort

    Open AccessBeena Koshy, Manikandan Srinivasan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    A triple intervention plan to enhance home environment and nurturance, early childhood nutrient supplementation, and maternal education and well-being might prevent child developmental decline in high risk settings

  • 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)

  • Body iron and lead status in early childhood and its effects on development and cognition

    Open AccessBeena Koshy, Manikandan Srinivasan et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: Early childhood factors can have persisting effects on development and cognition in children. We propose to explore the trends of Fe deficiency and Pb toxicity in early childhood and their association with child development at 2 years of age and cognition at 5 years. Design: Longitudinal birth cohort study. Setting: Urban slum, Vellore, India. Participants: Children enrolled at birth were followed up regularly in the first 2 years with…

  • 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…
