Summary

This study follows about 2,200 mothers and their children in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, including Rohingya refugees and local families. Researchers want to understand how growing up in conflict and displacement affects child development and mental health. They are also looking at whether play and playful learning can help protect children from these challenges. The children are assessed at 36 months of age using tests of thinking, memory, and self-control, along with measures of growth and nutrition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Play and playful learning interventions
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point toward simple, low-cost ways to support healthy development and mental health in children growing up in conflict zones.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other settings, and measuring development in such a complex context is challenging.

Who is studied

The prenatal cohort consists of 2,322 Rohingya women recruited from 8 camps in the Kutupalong camp cluster and 566 women from surrounding host communities in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Rohingya participants, a stateless minority from Rakhine, Myanmar, who fled persecution and violence primarily in 2017-2018. The host community is composed of Bangladeshi nationals from Chittagonian-speaking communities adjacent to the camps. At prenatal recruitment, approximately 68% of Rohingya women were unable to read in any language; mean age was 21.2 years, with approximately 41% under 19 years of age. Consent is obtained verbally - due to high rates of illiteracy - in Rohingya/Chittagonian or Bangla, by female enumerators for female participants and male enumerators for male participants.
