Child Health and Migrant Parents in South-East Asia (CHAMPSEA)
CHAMPSEA follows around 1,000 children aged 3-5 or 9-11 years, and their carers, from communities in Indonesia (East Java and West Java), the Philippines (Bulacan and Laguna), Thailand (Lampang and Udon Thani), and Vietnam (Thai Binh and Hai Duong) with high out-migration rates. The follow-up study first surveyed and interviewed members of the same CHAMPSEA households in Indonesia and the Philippines including children in middle childhood (then 3, 4 and 5 years and are now 11, 12 and 13) and young adults (then 9, 10 and 11 and are now 17, 18 and 19). In 2019, the team returned to Thailand to survey and interview members of CHAMPSEA households with young adults (then 9,10 and 11 and are now 20, 21 and 22).
