title: Accuracy of information reported by parents and children evaluated by a cleft palate team.
abstract: Children with palatal clefts and their parents were interviewed to determine what information they had about the cleft and its management. Their responses were compared with the standards of 17 team members from seven disciplines. Both parent and child were consistently provided information about clefts that they were expected to remember. The children's responses met the standards 67 percent of the time. Their parents' responses met the standards 80.6 percent of the time. Parents accurately predicted their children's responses 92 percent of the time.
