Philippines Child Health Experiment

This unique, randomized project follows the long-term effects of health policy interventions on child health. The goal is to assess changes in provider and patient behavior and subsequent changes in child health and cognitive outcomes. These changes are measured using blood biomarkers; subjective, self-reported health status assessments; and age-specific measures of cognitive development.
