Can Practice-Based training boost caregiver skills for stunted children?
NCT ID NCT07769723
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding hands-on, simulation-based training to standard educational materials improves the caregiving skills of families with stunted children aged 1-3 years. Caregivers receive either a take-home module alone or the module plus guided practice sessions. The study measures changes in caregivers' knowledge and self-reported ability to provide developmental stimulation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Simulation-based education (growth and development education, demonstration, guided practice, and feedback)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could become a low-cost way to train caregivers of stunted children, potentially improving child development outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, non-randomized study, so results may not be generalizable. The main outcome is caregiver self-reported ability, not direct child health measures.
