Existing SNHV trials show relatively modest effects (effect sizes of 0.2 — 0.4 SDs) for outcomes such as child mental
health and behaviour, and cognitive and language development,
from infancy to mid - childhood.19 While effect sizes of 0.25 — 0.3 SDs can be meaningful and impactful at the whole of population level, 59 targeted
public health interventions such as SNHV include a
cost and intensity such that larger effects in the short - to - medium term might be necessary to justify implementation at a population level.
«The potential economic returns
from such
health benefits are substantial but have not always been included in benefit -
cost analyses or in policy debates regarding
public investments in early childhood development programs.»
