The MiPPAD randomized trial was set up in 2009 to compare the effectiveness of two intermittent preventive treatments of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp), sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and mefloquine. This trial took place in several sub-Saharan African countries: Benin, Mozambique, Gabon, and Tanzania.
Since then, offspring born within this trial have been monitored in Benin to better understand the risk factors for children’s neurodevelopment and health. The MiPPAD trial enrolled 1,183 HIV-negative pregnant women in Benin. The MiPPAD cohort of Benin assessed 767, 590, and 471 children at 1, 6, 9, and 14 years, respectively.
The cohort takes place in a semi rural area in the district of Allada, including Allada, Sekou and Attogon, in Benin, sub-Saharan Africa.
Information was collected on infectious diseases (malaria, helminths), nutritional (iron deficiency, anemia), psychosocial and environmental (metals, pesticides) factors throughout pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. Outcomes assessed included child’s neurodevelopment, mental health, growth, asthma, allergies, cardiometabolic health and puberty. In Mozambique, offspring born within the MiPPAD trial were also assessed in the same way at the age of 14.
