Gao Y, Zhang L, Wang Y, et al. - Researchers intended to determine if there is an association between housing environment and early childhood development (ECD) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). From 92,433 children aged 36 to 59 months who partook in the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) in 20 SSA countries, 88,271 were tested for cognitive and social-emotional development utilizing the Early Childhood Development Index questionnaire and were thus involved in this cross-sectional analysis. The authors discovered that improved housing was linked to on-track cognitive development and with on-track social-emotional development in girls. Such findings suggest that housing improvement in SSA may be associated with benefits for children’s physical health as well as broader aspects of healthy child development.
