$3.5M Grant Continues Child Mental Health Investigation in the DRC: Researchers from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine have been awarded a $3.5M, five-year R01 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health for their project, “Congolese mother and child mental health in response to early child development interventions.” Based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this study assesses the mental health benefits for mothers and children who participated in an earlier intervention study, in which mothers were trained weekly over the course of a year on practical strategies for enriching a child’s early learning environment in the home, as well as nutritional strategies for supporting optimal developmental and physical health. Read more about the project and how it builds upon previous studies to improve mental health outcomes.
