The Quality of the Home Environment During the First 2 Years of Life and Cognitive Development in Early Childhood: A Study of Thai Agricultural Families
Our results underscore the importance of both the immediate quality of the home environment and its improvements over time. We suggest that future studies expand to include more diverse demographic backgrounds within Thai culture and across different cultures, collect data over a longer period to capture associations at older ages, and develop targeted interventions to further understand and improve child cognitive development through an optimal home environment.
