Bahir Dar Child Development Cross-Sectional Study, Ethiopia: study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Foundational preacademic skills are crucial for academic success and serve as predictors of socioeconomic status, income and access to healthcare. However, there is a gap in our understanding of neurodevelopmental patterns underlying preacademic skills in children across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is essential to identify primary global and regional factors that drive children's neurodevelopment in LMICs. This study aims to characterise the typical development of healthy children and factors that influence child development in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

Methods and analysis

The Bahir Dar Child Development Study is a cross-sectional study implemented in two health centres, Shimbit and Abaymado and in Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospit
