Cultural Adaptation of Care for Child Development Education Program for implementation in Pakistan for Children at Risk of Mental Underdevelopment

Summary

This study will conduct focus groups with Pakistani women who are pregnant or have children under 3 years of age. They will be asked about the viability and cultural acceptability of the Care for Child Development materials (i.e., manual, activities, handouts) if it were to be implemented within Pakistan. The mothers will also be asked about their own early childcare practices. This information is being requested to assist the research team in adapting the intervention to
mothers in Pakistan.
