(Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute) Children in rural Peru who are stimulated with age-adjusted toys at an early age perform better in categories such as fine motor skills, understanding time and space, or cognitive abilities. The results are published today in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The community-randomized trial is the first study to assess the impact of an early child development intervention on household level in rural Peru.
