Abstract

An inventory of factors has been established that are important in defining the nature and circumstances of centres providing treatment for children with cerebral palsy. A method was developed for assessing the precision of the effects of aim- or goal-setting procedures, which were found to differ widely between centres. A knowledge of these factors and an understanding of the needs of individual parents and children is of potential value in the design of future trials employing randomisation and control of biasing factors, and in helping parents choose the centre most likely to meet their needs.
