About This Document: Cognitive Development and Home Environment of Rural Paraguayan Infants and Toddlers Participating in Pastoral del Nio, an Early Child Development Program - Peairson, Austin, de Aquino, & de Burr Children born into extreme poverty conditions are likely to be deprived of such basic necessities as health care, nourishing food, and education. The study's instruments included the Mental Development Index from the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-II (BSIC-II); the Infant-Toddler HOME (IT-HOME), a 45-item interview/observation instrument for evaluating the caregiving environment; a 40-question survey to assess demographics, health (children's vaccinations, rehydration remedies, parasitic prevention by upgrading the family home's roofing and flooring materials), education (mother's and father's highest grade completed, facility speaking and reading Spanish), and caregiving (telling stories, playing or teaching the child games); and anthropometric measures of nutritional status (length of child and circumference of head).
