Malnutrition Clinical Trial
Official title:
Caregiver Early Child Development Training for Preventing Konzo From Toxic Cassava in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
The proposed research adapted the caregiver training and child neurodevelopmental assessment capacity that the PI previously built in Uganda beginning in 2008, to a community-based intervention model for the prevention of konzo in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Early childhood (1 through 4 yrs) is a period of dramatic developmental change that can be seriously compromised by exposure to toxic cyanogenic cassava (konzo disease), with potentially great impact throughout central and western sub-Sahara Africa in regions dependent on this food staple. In the face of ongoing economic instability and nutritional, medical and educational deprivation affecting konzo at-risk communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, no programs exist for sustaining a favorable developmental milieu for these children. By establishing the viability of caregiver training interventions to enhance functionality among caregivers and improve caregiving quality while preventing konzo, this research l can benefit tens of millions of children at-risk neurodevelopmentally; not only from poorly processed cyanogenic cassava, but also from a myriad of other non-infectious and infectious diseases. ;
