Comparing parent and child reports of health-related quality of life and their relationship with leisure participation in children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy

Children reported significantly better HR-QoL than their parents did. Participation was positively associated with specific domains of HR-QoL, but only weakly, and there were discrepancies between parent and child reports of HR-QoL. These findings provide interesting information about the importance of hearing the voices of children and adolescents with CP to promote HR-QoL and leisure participation.
