Eggs and fish: a recipe for smarter kids?
NCT ID NCT07490899
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving young children eggs and dried fish, along with teaching parents how to be more responsive and interactive, can improve their thinking, language, movement, and emotional skills. Over 2,200 children aged 6-30 months in Liberia will take part. The goal is to see if combining better nutrition with responsive parenting works better than either approach alone.
