Using longitudinal survey data from Kenya, we examine the relationship between the provision of treatment to adults and the schooling and nutrition outcomes of children in their households. Weekly hours of school attendance increase by over 20% within 6 months after treatment is initiated for the adult patient. We find some weak evidence that young children's short-term nutritional status also improves. These results suggest how intrahousehold allocations of time and resources may be altered in response to health improvements of adults. 2012-03-30T07:31:00Z 2012-03-30T07:31:00Z 2009 Journal Article Journal of Public Economics 00472727 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5046 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Kenya
