Participation in a Community-Based Women's Health Education Program and At-Risk Child Development in Rural Kenya: Developmental Screening Questionnaire Results Analysis

Abstract

Infants in Chamas had a lower likelihood of at-risk development compared to those in the control group. Older infant age at time of screening and having natural or uncovered walls was also associated with lower odds of at-risk development.n Our findings offer evidence to support that by addressing health literacy, providing community in a supportive environment, and offering a means to combat social determinants of child developmental delays, the Chamas for Change intervention may help protect children from developmental delays in this resource-limited setting in Kenya.
