Dear colleagues,
Below is a link to a booklet containing studies from all the randomised trials in child and adolescent health conducted in the last year in low- and middle-income settings.

The topics of the 600 papers included in 2024-25 are as diverse as the problems facing children and adolescents in today's world. The aim is to make this information widely available to paediatricians, nurses, other health workers and administrators in places where up-to-date and reliable information is hard to find.
Please feel free to share this booklet with anyone who could use such information. A brief summary of 52 of the most important studies is below.
Yours sincerely,
Trevor Duke
