What is being tested?

The study tests if giving extra money ($40 vs $2 per month) to families can protect children's brain development and mental health. It randomly assigns families to receive different amounts of cash for two years, then checks the effects on kids' stress levels and behavior.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves supplemental cash transfers rather than medical interventions, there are no direct side effects like those seen with medications or treatments. However, changes in family dynamics or stress levels could potentially occur.
