Summary

This study tested whether digital tools and cash payments can help parents in Tanzania give their children a stronger start in life. Over 3,500 pregnant women were split into groups: some got parenting support via community health workers using a phone app, some got cash transfers, some got both, and some got neither. The goal was to see if these approaches improve children's thinking, language, and nutrition by age 15 months.
