The risk factors of greatest importance concern low-quality psychosocial stimulation at home; inadequate child nutrition; infections from environmental vectors, such as trachoma and malaria; and maternal nutrition and mental health during the first 1,000 days. Interventions include psychosocial stimulation, prenatal and postnatal nutrition, improvements in the physical environment, and maternal mental health care.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27227234</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Black, Robert E&lt;br/&gt;Laxminarayan, Ramanan&lt;br/&gt;Temmerman, Marleen&lt;br/&gt;Walker, Neff&lt;br/&gt;Aboud, Frances E&lt;br/&gt;Yousafzai, Aisha K&lt;br/&gt;Review&lt;br/&gt;Book Chapter</style></notes></record></records></xml>
