- Original description
This will be a five year study that will be a prospective, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to assess the effect of a virtual early intervention care delivery model in the provision of therapy to enhance the neurodevelopmental trajectory of infants with brain injury. In addition, the investigators will enhance understanding of the social and parental contributors to outcomes and the early health economic impact of a virtual clinic. The results of this study will help inform the design of a larger, multi-center randomized controlled trial.Read full original descriptionShow less

In addition, the investigators will enhance understanding of the social and parental contributors to outcomes and the early health economic impact of a virtual clinic. The results of this study will help inform the design of a larger, multi-center randomized controlled trial.
