The JiVitA Project  in Bangladesh will examine the effects of weekly maternal vitamin A supplementation during pregnancy along with newborn vitamin A supplementation  on cognitive development of children at 8 years of age. The findings will help to elucidate the preventable effects of micronutrient deficiencies during critical early stages of neurobehavioral development on cognition of children at ages when they usually start school.
