The problem
Intervention: Health facility-based multicomponent integrated early childhood development intervention providing responsive care and stimulation
Who it was tested with: Caregivers and children from conception to age two in Siaya County, Kenya.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"We undertook an impact evaluation using a three-armed cluster randomized controlled trial to establish the effectiveness of a health facility-based early childhood development (ECD) intervention." The study employed a rigorous experimental design with multiple measurement points, making it suitable for determining causal impact, though the divergent midline and endline results create ambiguity about the true intervention effect.
Specific outcome measures and intervention components are not detailed. The reasons for the loss of effect from midline to endline are unexplained, and fidelity of implementation is not reported.
