“…The program improves child development by 0.13 Standard Deviations (SD), mainly via an effect on communication skills (average effect of 0.18 SD). It also appears to have slightly changed certain behaviors that might affect children, such as decreased probability of maternal employment (Hil et al, 2005); and increased maternal self-esteem (Fernandez et al, 2008), although we did not find heterogenous impacts of the Bono across these variables. We did identify heterogeneous impact by type of transfer: the impact on children from families receiving the US$250 "health" transfer (targeting 0-5-year old without an older siblings and conditional on health check-ups) was 0.34 SD on average, with an even larger impact on the problem-solving domain (half a standard deviation).…”

“…The identified maternal personality factors, Fragile inner-self and Locus of control , are possible markers of parental competence [ 54 , 55 ] with maternal external locus of control being associated with less stimulating home environments [ 56 – 58 ] and lower levels of child preventive health care [ 59 – 61 ]. These studies support our findings of negative relationships between these factors and communication impairments.…”

Preconception and Prenatal Environmental Factors Associated with Communication Impairments in 9 Year Old Children Using an Exposome-Wide Approach

Although speech and language deficits are common in children and strongly associated with poor educational and social outcomes, little attention has been paid to the antecedents. In this study we used the information from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children to examine preconception and prenatal environmental risk factors that were related to communication difficulties in children using the Children’s Communication Checklist (CCC). We used an exposome-wide approach to identify environmental factors univariably associated with the CCC. Taking account of the False Discovery rate, we used a P value of 0.000157 to identify 621 of 3855 items tested. These were then subjected to a series of stepwise linear regression analyses, firstly within 10 domains: personal characteristics, health, development, education, socio-economic variables, lifestyle, home and social environments, life events and chemical and other exposures; and then with the predictive variables from each domain. The final model consisted of 19 variables independently associated with the communication scale. These variables suggested 6 possible mechanisms: stressors primarily associated with socio-economic disadvantage although other lifestyle choices such as a social network of family or friends can ameliorate these effects; indicators of future parenting skills primarily associated with aspects of parental personality; aspects of the home environment; poor maternal health with a novel finding concerning maternal hearing loss; and maternal education which was partially mediated by the child’s IQ. Finally, there may be a mechanism via the maternal diet in pregnancy in particular the consumption of fatty or processed foods. This is the subject of ongoing investigation.

“…Findings by Palacios, Gonzalez, and Moreno () regarding modernity beliefs testify to the connection between parenting attitudes and HOME scores (see also Zeitlin et al, ). Studies show that HOME scores are related to authoritarianism (Henderson, 1975), attitudes toward child rearing (Daggett et al, ; Greenberg & Crnic, ; Luster & Rhoades, ; Reis & Herz, ), knowledge of child development (Benasich & Brooks‐Gunn, ; Reis et al, ), self‐esteem (Baker‐Henningham, Powell, Walker, & Grantham‐McGregor, ; Fernandez, Vazir, Bentley, Johnson, & Engle, ; Parcel & Menaghan, ; Williams, Williams, & Griggs, ), and self‐efficacy (Jackson, ; Nievar & Luster, ; Prasopkittikun, ).…”

Measures of the home environment are frequently used in studies of children’s development. This review provides information on indices composed of causal and formative indicators (the kind of indicators often used to capture salient aspects of family environments) and to suggest approaches that may be useful in constructing such measures for diverse populations. The HOME Inventory is used to illustrate challenges scholars face in determining what to include in useful measures of family settings. To that end, a cross-cultural review of research on relations among HOME, family context, and child outcomes is presented. The end of the review offers a plan for how best to further research on relations between the home environment and child development for diverse populations.
