For test-retest reliability the same parent was interviewed twice within three weeks; in inter-respondent reliability both parents of a child were interviewed independently within a few days.

Article Synopsis
- This study reviews 50 research papers from 1990 to 2001 on therapeutic motor interventions for children with or at risk for cerebral palsy (CP), aiming to assess changes in study quality and program evaluation.
- It found that research methods improved compared to a previous review from 1980 to 1989, but overall scientific foundations for the interventions did not significantly advance.
- The authors suggest that focusing on single case studies and creating specialized measures for CP could enhance the justification for therapeutic interventions.

What, in the long run, is the effect of this on the well-being of adolescents and young adults between 12-30? We have examined intact families that function well, mediocre or badly, one-parent families and stepfamilies after a divorce and one-parent families after being widowed.
