CHANG, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.819-827 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Growth retardation  behaviour  child development  children  Jamaica Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In order to examine the mechanism whereby stunted children have poor developmental levels, we compared the behaviour of stunted (N = 78) and nonstunted (N= 26) children aged 12 to 24 months, and examined the relationship of their behaviour to their developmental levels. The effect of nutritional supplementation with or without psychosocial stimulation on the stunted children's behaviour was also examined. The children were observed at home during 4 days over a period of 6 months. The stunted children showed significantly more apathy, and less enthusiasm and variety in exploring, were less happy and more fussy. Caretakers’ vocalisations to them were less warm or instructive. Stunted children's activity level, exploratory and happy behaviours were predictive of change in developmental levels measured on the Griffiths Scales, from enrolment to 12 and 24 months later. Supplementation predicted mental age at 12 and 24 months after enrolment, however, it had no significant effect on behaviour.

Behaviour of Severely Malnourished Children in a Jamaican Hospital / Sally M. GRANTHAM-MCGREGOR in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 33-8 (August 1991)

Ces enfants ont été comparés avec 21 enfants correctement nourris appariés et présents dans l'hôpital pour d'autres affections et tous ont été évalués sur le plan du développement par le test de Griffiths. A l'admission hospitalière, les enfants malnutris étaient moins actifs et plus apathiques que les contrôles quand ils étaient seuls dans leur berceau tandis que les contrôles étaient davantage perturbés. A la présentation de jouets, les enfants malnutris avaient une exploration plus limitée, utilisant moins d'actions de jeux et touchant moins de jouets. Ces différences ne persistaient pas après la correction de troubles. Le comportement initial ne permettait pas de prédire les niveaux de développement.

Cognitive, psychosocial, and behaviour gains at age 31 years from the Jamaica early childhood stimulation trial / Susan P. WALKER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-6 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-6 (June 2022) . - p.626-635 Titre : Cognitive, psychosocial, and behaviour gains at age 31 years from the Jamaica early childhood stimulation trial Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Susan P. WALKER, Auteur ; Susan M. CHANG, Auteur ; Amika S. WRIGHT, Auteur ; Rodrigo PINTO, Auteur ; James J. HECKMAN, Auteur ; Sally M. GRANTHAM-MCGREGOR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.626-635 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early childhood  cognition  psychosocial skills  stimulation  stunting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: There is little evidence on adult benefits from early childhood interventions in low and middle-income countries. We assessed adult cognition, psychosocial skills and behaviour from a stimulation trial conducted in Jamaica. METHODS: Children with stunted growth (height-for age <-2SD of references) aged 9-24 months were enrolled in a two-year randomised-controlled trial of nutritional supplementation and/or stimulation. At mean age 31.79 (SD 0.40) years, 95 of 127 participants (74.8%; 53.7% male) were assessed. Children without stunted growth were also followed as a comparison group (64 of 84 participants, 76.2%). Measurements included IQ, executive function, mental health, psychosocial skills, personality traits and risk behaviours. A block permutation test, valid for small sample sizes, was used. Analyses accounted for the randomisation protocol, multiple hypothesis testing and attrition. RESULTS: Treatment group participants (stimulation intervention with or without supplementation, n=48) had significantly greater IQ (Hedges g effect size 0. 57; 95%CI 0.20, 0.95) and cognitive flexibility (0.61; 0.25, 0.98) compared with no-treatment (no-intervention and supplementation only, n=47). They also had reduced depressive symptoms (0.61; 0.28, 1.00), increased grit (0.53; 0.16, 0.92) and conscientiousness (0.66; 0.31, 1.07), lower substance use (rank mean score, 0.45; 0.08, 0.81) and risk taking related to health and work (0.64; 0.27, 1.00). There were 18 significant outcomes of 33 assessed. Comparison participants had higher IQ than no-treatment (1.17; 0.81, 1.54) and treatment groups (0.62; 0.18, 1.07); and better executive function, lower social inhibition and risk taking than the no-treatment group. CONCLUSIONS: The wide-ranging benefits at 31 years from the stimulation intervention supports investment in larger scale programmes to promote early childhood development in disadvantaged children. The lower IQ in the treatment group compared with comparison participants, emphasises the need for continued efforts to prevent early childhood growth retardation.

Effects of a scalable home-visiting intervention on child development in slums of urban India: evidence from a randomised controlled trial / Alison ANDREW in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 61-6 (June 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 61-6 (June 2020) . - p.644-652 Titre : Effects of a scalable home-visiting intervention on child development in slums of urban India: evidence from a randomised controlled trial Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alison ANDREW, Auteur ; Orazio ATTANASIO, Auteur ; Britta AUGSBURG, Auteur ; Monimalika DAY, Auteur ; Sally M. GRANTHAM-MCGREGOR, Auteur ; Costas MEGHIR, Auteur ; Fardina MEHRIN, Auteur ; Smriti PAHWA, Auteur ; Marta RUBIO-CODINA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.644-652 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child development  home visiting  parent-child interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: An estimated 63.4 million Indian children under 5 years are at risk of poor development. Home visits that use a structured curriculum to help caregivers enhance the quality of the home stimulation environment improve developmental outcomes. However, achieving effectiveness in poor urban contexts through scalable models remains challenging. METHODS: Using a cluster randomised controlled trial, we evaluated a psychosocial stimulation intervention, comprising weekly home visits for 18 months, in urban slums of Cuttack, Odisha, India. The intervention is complementary to existing early childhood services in India and was run and managed through a local branch of a national NGO. The study ran from August 2013 to July 2015. We enrolled 421 children aged 10-20 months from 54 slums. Slums were randomised to intervention or control. Primary outcomes were children's cognitive, receptive language, expressive language and fine motor development assessed using the Bayley-III. Prespecified intent-to-treat analysis investigated impacts and heterogeneity by gender. TRIAL REGISTRATIONS: ISRCTN89476603, AEARCTR-0000169. RESULTS: Endline data for 378 (89.8%) children were analysed. Attrition was balanced between groups. We found improvements of 0.349 of a standard deviation (SD; p = .005, stepdown p = .017) to cognition while impacts on receptive language, expressive language and fine motor development were, respectively, 0.224 SD (p = .099, stepdown p = .184), 0.192 SD (p = .085, stepdown p = .184) and 0.111 (p = .385, stepdown p = .385). A child development factor improved by 0.301 SD (p = .032). Benefits were larger for boys. The quality of the home stimulation environment also improved. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that a potentially scalable home-visiting intervention is effective in poor urban areas.
