This project will establish the platform for a national Cerebral Palsy Register in Bangladesh using the existing infrastructure of the Australian Cerebral Palsy Register to facilitate studies on prevalence, severity, aetiology, associated impairments and risk factors for CP in Bangladesh. This project will also evaluate the effectiveness of 4 different service delivery models for children with CP and their families.
The initial data collection and establishment of the CP register will be based at one sub-district of Bangladesh, Shahjadpur. Throughout this process the overall infrastructure for the national CP register and surveillance will be developed.
