Bogota Measurements - Predictive Validity Bayley Short Tests Survey Data: 2011-2016

By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)

This dataset contains longitudinal data on child development outcomes, child characteristics, and parental and home characteristics for 937 children from low- and low-middle-income households in Bogota, Colombia, followed between 2011 and 2016.

In the first round (2011), 1,311 children aged 6-42 months were assessed with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley-III) by psychologists and were randomized to receive one of two batteries of short tests under survey conditions. In 2016, at ages 6-8 years, 940 of these children were located and given tests of IQ (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, WISC-V) and school achievement (arithmetic, reading, and vocabulary) by psychologists. Excluding outliers, 937 children constitute the analysis sample.

The data supports the paper "Predictive validity in middle childhood of short tests of early childhood development used in large scale studies compared to the Bayley-III, the Family Care Indicators, height-for-age, and stunting: A longitudinal study in Bogota, Colombia" by Marta Rubio-Codina and Sally Grantham-McGregor (forthcoming at PLOS ONE). The dataset was anonymized to protect subject privacy.
