1-2-3 Survey, phase 2 [hh/123-2]
This dataset, in combination with third-party data, was used to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the cognitive, language, and motor development, behavior, and growth among toddlers in rural Bangladesh. The study compared repeated cross-sectional surveys of children living in the same villages. The first survey (third party data) included 20-month-old children in 2019 and 2020 (unexposed group). The second survey (this dataset) took place in a random subset of 50 of the same villages in 2022 among 20-month-old children, who had experienced pandemic-related lockdowns from approximately mid-gestation through their first year (exposed group). Both surveys used similar inclusion criteria and the same developmental assessments (Bayley’s Scales of Infant and Toddler Development), behavior observations, and field protocols.

Sampling
The 2022 sample was collected from a set of 50 villages randomly sampled from all 112 villages included in an earlier iron supplementation trial (Pasricha et al, New England Journal of Medicine, DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2034187). Children in the target age range (20 months±14 days) were identified from lists provided by government health workers and house-to-house surveys. All eligible children who were 20 months±14 days between the 22nd of March and the 31st of May 2022 and their mothers were selected and exclusion criteria included: current febrile illness, a known inherited red-cell disorder or previous transfusion, known developmental delay, or household drinking water with iron level exceeding 1 mg per liter. One village was dropped where it was not possible to find an eligible child.
