Aslam, M., Kingdon, G. and S. Malik, ‘Maternal Education and Child Health – Understanding the Pathways in Pakistan’, mimeo, CSAE, May 08
In Pakistan, testing relationships between maternal schooling and child health outcomes (child height, weight and arm-
circumference) parental health-seeking behaviour (immunisation status of
children)
Looks at the pathways through which maternal education has its impact on child health/ health-seeking behaviour
Only maternal health knowledge helps explain immunisation status for young children, and mother’s education has a direct positive effect only in determining younger children’s heights
Further quantitative-qualitative work is planned
One quantitative draft paper on theme 1

Lessons learned: 1 Qualitative projects are hard to keep to
planned 6-month periods Translation and transcription: dilemmas
here are more intransigent than we expected
Identification of sample takes longer than expected (people with disabilities, getting intergenerational interviews)
Writing time not built into the plan
![Page 13: Recoup Theme 1 Presentation Oct 08](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082700/54b3dc134a7959a95f8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lessons learned: 2
Serious delays as a result of political conflict in Kenya and Pakistan (loss of community trust, sample, danger for researchers)
Electronic communications with Southern partners are hard to maintain, especially in Africa
Communities have shown ‘research fatigue’ related to lack of definite collective or individual rewards for taking part
