Multi-Collaborator Engagement to Identify Research Priorities for Early Intervention in Cerebral Palsy.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Although clinical practice guidelines and evidence-based practices for early cerebral palsy (CP) diagnosis and treatment are well established, their implementation remains inconsistent across care settings. This study sought to identify key research priorities related to early CP diagnosis and treatment and to develop an actionable framework through multi-collaborator consensus building. Methods: The 97 adult participants included 42 who have lived experience with CP. Before the conference, participants completed a survey rating the importance of research topics. During the conference, aggregated results were presented, followed by 16 focus group discussions to refine research priorities. A follow-up survey was conducted to validate the final priorities
