Summary

The proposed project will tackle the two most salient problems for children under 5 in Brazil: the continued high rates of neonatal mortality, and the large disparities in early childhood development. We propose to extend and scale up previously tested and validated home visiting programs to the city of Boa Vista in the north region of Brazil. The core intervention of the program will be home visits or group meetings to mothers and caregivers by trained child development agents. At the core of the program is a detailed curriculum, which contains gestation and age-specific topics of child health and development to be discussed with caregivers at each encounter.
