We study the impact of preschools and the issue of close substitutes in a Cambodian context where newly built formalized preschools are competing with existing alternative early childcare arrangements. In addition to estimating the reduced-form impact of a vast preschool construction program using a random assignment, we implement several empirical...
The concept of translanguaging has been continuously redefined in education, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, which has led to some loss of meaning. Regarding teacher translanguaging, studies show that it has been used as a strategy to further comprehension and learning, and as a pedagogy. The latter recognizes the existence of multiple lang...

Importance:Elevated blood lead levels in children are associated with neurologic effects such as behavioral and learning problems, lower IQ, hyperactivity, hearing problems, and impaired growth. In pregnant women, lead exposure can impair organ systems such as the hematopoietic, hepatic, renal, and nervous systems, and increase the risk of preeclam...
AIMS:To examine child outcomes over time among mothers with perinatally depressed mood in rural South Africa (SA). METHODS:A representative sample of consecutive births (470/493) in the OR Tambo District of the Eastern Cape of South Africa (SA) were recruited and were reassessed at five points over the course of the next two years: 85% were reasses...
We sought to determine the extent to which sex differences in psychomotor development during the preschool period can be explained by differential exposure to environmental factors and/or differences in emotional, behavioral, or social functioning. Children from the EDEN mother–child cohort were assessed for language, gross motor, and fine motor sk...
Rationale. Very preterm (VPT) birth, birth before 33 weeks gestational age, puts children at increased risk for a variety of neurodevelopmental, cognitive, and behavioral difficulties as they grow. Severe complications of VPT birth (e.g., Grade 3-4 intraventricular hemorrhage, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia) are ass...

BACKGROUND:Mosquito-borne arboviruses, like dengue virus, continue to cause significant global morbidity and mortality, particularly in Southeast Asia. When the infectious mosquitoes probe into human skin for a blood meal, they deposit saliva containing a myriad of pharmacologically active compounds, some of which alter the immune response and infl...
