Abstract

This dataset was collected as part of a cluster-randomized controlled trial that evaluated the impact of a home visit intervention on child development in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Household survey data were collected at baseline and endline. In a subsample of children, neural function was assessed at a lab at endline and at two interim time points. Primary outcomes were: height-for-age z-scores (HAZ) and stunting; child development scores measured using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT); absolute electroencephalography (EEG) gamma and total power; relative EEG gamma power; and saccadic reaction time (SRT)—an eye-tracking measure of visual processing speed.
