Summary

This study will investigate the association between exposure to a daily nutritional supplement in utero and during the first three years of life and adult educational, marriage, and labor market outcomes in India. During 1987-1990, a controlled nutrition trial offered a daily cooked meal to pregnant women and children below the age of six years in 15 intervention villages near the city of Hyderabad in South India. No supplementation was offered during the study in another 14 control villages. The trial and its follow up surveys are together known as the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study (APCAPS).

This protocol registration is for an analysis of the publicly available APCAPS third follow up wave (2010-2012) data. It is not a registration of the underlying 1987-1990 nutrition trial.
