A digital intervention to support childhood cognition after the COVID-19 pandemic: a pilot trial

Difficulties in executive functioning (EF) can result in impulsivity, forgetfulness, and inattention.

Socio-demographic correlates of unhealthy lifestyle in Ethiopia: a secondary analysis of a national survey
