This $117,883 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will fund research to identify mechanisms through which early water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH), and nutrition interventions impact health and development outcomes in children and adolescents living in poverty. The work will leverage data from a large cluster randomized trial in rural Bangladesh to:

  1. Uncover the mechanism of impact of an effective early WASH and nutrition intervention on middle-childhood development.
  2. Use population intervention effects to identify early intervention targets that address prevalent risk factors.
  3. Evaluate the long-term impacts of the early WASH and nutrition intervention on adolescent health and development outcomes.

The proposed research, to be conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, aims to fill critical gaps in understanding how early interventions can improve child and adolescent health and development in low-resource global settings. The findings will inform the design of future interventions to optimize health and development through childhood and adolescence in the context of global poverty.
