It is unclear what effects a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program would have on child anthropometry, language development, or school achievement in the context of the nutrition transition experienced by many low- andmiddle-income countries. In this study the authors estimated the association of participation in Perus Juntos CCT with anthropometry, language development, and school achievement among children aged 7–8 y.
