In our recent study comparing the developmental status among premature babies versus term babies, we end up with this conclusion " Half of the children had developmental delay in our sample from rural Rwanda. Preterm and/or LBW infants were more likely to have developmental delay, and the main predictor of developmental delay was stunting, with high rates of stunting observed also in term/NBW infants. Interventions to reduce undernutrition and prevent prematurity and LBW, alongside investments to promote early stimulation for optimal development, are needed if gains in addressing developmental delay are to be made."

So in the order to help our study to have an impact on the field I would like to know which early child stimulations methods to be use successfully in middle in come countries especially in Rwanda.
