PY - 2020 DA - 2020/04/16 TI - Psychosocial and environmental determinants of child cognitive development in rural south africa and tanzania: findings from the mal-ed cohort JO - BMC Public Health SP - 505 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Approximately 66% of children under the age of 5 in Sub-Saharan African countries do not reach their full cognitive potential, the highest percentage in the world. Because the majority of studies investigating child cognitive development have been conducted in high-income countries (HICs), there is limited knowledge regarding the determinants of child development in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
