Dataset for: Nutrition supplementation enhanced with brain-directed nutrients and neurocognitive development in Bangladeshi children

https://wellcomeleap.org/1kd/program/ School children are most likely to succeed if they are attentive, resist distractions, follow instruction, plan and organize activity and problem solve. These capabilities rely on executive functions (EFs) and emotion regulation (ER), skills that are inter-correlated and predictive of lifelong behavioral, emotional, academic and social function. EF/ER also provide the essential building blocks for success in meeting challenges across the lifespan. In contrast, executive dysfunction (EDF) and emotion dysregulation (EDR) predict poor interpersonal relationships, educational failure, reduced earnings, criminality, and compromised mental and physical health. Our mission targets the first 1000 days of life to improve brain health across the population.
