The problem
Intervention: Increased maternal education (measured as additional years of maternal schooling)
Who it was tested with: 4,874 mother-child dyads from Uganda (children mean age 47.7 months).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Taking advantage of a natural experiment with an instrumental variables approach, the study identified positive causal impacts of maternal schooling on children's development." This statement indicates use of an instrumental variables methodology, a quasi-experimental approach that exploits natural variation to establish causal effects in observational data.
Cross-sectional design limits causal inference to the natural experiment approach; long-term developmental outcomes not assessed; Ugandan context may not generalise globally
