NCT ID: NCT05405400 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

The Sugira Muryango Longitudinal & Spillover Study

Start date: April 20, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Early Childhood version of Sugira Muryango is a family-based, home-visiting intervention targeted at early childhood development and implemented with families living in extreme poverty in three districts of Rwanda. This version of Sugira Muryango was first tested in two small pilot studies and a large cluster randomized trial (CRT) was implemented between February 2018 and September 2019 . Pre- to post-intervention findings demonstrated that Sugira Muryango led to improvements in caregiver behaviors linked to child development and health as well as reductions in violence, which were sustained 12 months after the intervention, at which time improvements in child development were observed. The Research Program on Children and Adversity in the Boston College School of Social Work is led by Dr. Theresa S. Betancourt and will, in partnership with the University of Rwanda, FXB-Rwanda and Laterite, conduct a longitudinal follow-up study to investigate the longer-term outcomes of the Sugira Muryango intervention in families who participated in the CRT. The four-year follow-up will examine the long-term and sustained outcomes of the intervention. In particular, the investigators will look at key indicators of long-term positive outcomes for children such as school readiness and transition to formal schooling. Given the lack of longitudinal research on intervention programs supporting ECD in sub-Saharan Africa, this study will contribute greatly to the body of knowledge on the costs and benefits of investments in ECD and guide policy makers and government leaders on making impactful investments in children, leading to long-term benefits for the population at large. The follow-up study involves two activities: Activity A: Pilot to assess measures performance of newly added measures and field test study protocols. Activity B: Four-year follow-up of families who participated in the CRT of the Sugira Muryango intervention.

NCT ID: NCT05111899 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Breastfeeding, Exclusive

Leading Advancements in the Uptake of Newborn Community Health

LAUNCH
Start date: July 11, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of the study is to determine the impact of a behavior change intervention that partners Orthodox priests with members of the Health Development Army (HDA) and train them to conduct newborn health outreach to increase rates of early initiation of and exclusive breastfeeding through 6 months and vaccination coverage at six months. Secondary objectives include: - Determine the impact of the intervention on infant growth at six months, observed and self-reported changes in nutrition and feeding practices of mother and infants, and early identification of newborn illness. - Design a culturally relevant, scalable intervention for community-based newborn and infant health in Gondar in partnership with local partners, the Federal Ministry of Health, and the Gondar Regional Health Bureau.

GAIN
Start date: November 8, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

An exploratory study to explore the possibility of using computer vision algorithms to estimate a child's length using images taken by a healthcare professional or parents.

NCT ID: NCT04515264 Completed - Clinical trials for Growth; Stunting, Nutritional

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) Profiles and Growth Indicators of Infants Aged 0-4 Months

Start date: August 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The breastfeeding rates globally in Indonesia generally remain low with only 40% or less infants aged 6 months are exclusively breastfed. Available national data in 2018 showed the proportion of wasted in children under 5 years old was 6.7%, while 3.5% children were severely wasted. This data showed improvement compared data in 2007 and 2013. While proportion children under 2 years old with stunted and severly stunted was 29.9%. As the third most abundant group of compounds in human milk, after lactose (70 g/L) and lipids (40 g/L), human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) never been study in Indonesia. HMOs amount and diversity influenced by non modifiable and modifiable factors. The maternal phenotypes, the α-1-2-fucosyltransferase (FUT-2) gene and the α-1-3-4-fucosyltransferase (FUT-3) gene divided the mother into secretor (Se+) and non secretor (Se-) and Le+ or Le-). Studies showed the breastfed infants of non secretor mothers secrete lower HMOs than secretor mothers. By many functions in HMOs such as prebiotic, anti infection, modulate immunity, it is thought that HMOs can influence infant growth. The hypothesis of this study is to show the associations between maternal factors (secretor gene status/FUT-2 gene, lewis gene status/FUT-3 gene, gestational age and gestational weight gain) with HMOs profiles and growth indicators of infants aged 0-4 months.

NCT ID: NCT03641001 Recruiting - Feeding Behavior Clinical Trials

Nutrition Intervention Integrated With Food Voucher to Improve Child Growth and Feeding Practices

Start date: January 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Brief Summary: Background: The period from birth to two years of age is the "critical window" for the promotion of optimal growth, health, and development. Insufficient quantities and inadequate quality of complementary foods, poor child-feeding practices and high rates of infections have a detrimental impact on growth. Approximately one-third of children less than 5 years of age in developing countries are stunted, and large proportions are also deficient in one or more micronutrients. An estimated 6% or 6 hundred thousand under-5 deaths can be prevented by ensuring optimal complementary feeding (CF) only. Knowledge gap: Even though the importance of CF is established, children < 2y are being fed complementary foods with poor nutrient quality, particularly in resource poor countries like Bangladesh. Relevance: Approximately 36% under 5 children are stunted in Bangladesh. Only 23% of children age 6-23 months is fed appropriately based on recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. The routine diet of the population including children is mainly plant based and lacks adequate protein and other essential nutrients. Hygiene is also an issue as only 21% of rural households use soap and water during handwashing. An intervention package including CF counselling, WASH and micronutrient powder (MNP) could be potential option for optimizing complementary feeding practice in rural Bangladesh. Hypothesis: An integrated intervention package will improve child growth in terms of length and complementary feeding practice in the selected intervention area from rural Bangladesh compared to control area. Objectives: 1. To improve nutritional status (length for age Z-score or LAZ) of the children (6-12 mo) through food voucher to promote improved recipe and intervention package with 12 months of intervention period. 2. To improve young child feeding practices following counselling Methods: This will be a community based cluster randomized trial. Group I (intervention) will receive a package of intervention (child feeding counselling, WASH and micronutrient powder) along with food voucher to support feeding their children a homemade snack following a newly developed recipe (suzi firni for <1 year, suzi halua for >1 yr) and Group II (Control) will receive usual health meassages. Baseline and endline survey will be conducted. Growth Monitoring Promotion (GMP) will be done monthly to monitor the growth of the children and utilization of food voucher. Data on child feeding, morbidity and anthropometry (length and weight) will be collected monthly. Outcome measures/variables: 1. Difference in mean LAZ of the children between intervention and control group 2. Difference in mean weight for age Z-score (WAZ) of the children between intervention and control group 3. Difference in proportions of mothers in terms of correct knowledge and practice on CF
