Deworming in Kenya - A Pilot Study

The project has been going on for eight to ten years. The first thing we measured was the most basic health outcome for children, which is survival. At the start of our study period, about 80 kids out of a thousand would die before age five. Now overtime, and there's been improvements in health. We're starting to measure cognitive fects among three to six year olds and six to eight year olds. Were finding some gains there. This kind of human capital investment could help break the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
