There were no statistically significant differences between groups, including for key variables such as height, weight, PD duration, H-Y or MMSE scores.
This may limit comparison between groups on key outcomes, however some of these differences can be controlled for in the analysis.
Our ROI based approach was designed to increase sensitivity for detection of between-group differences in key cortical motor areas.
While solutions differ between ethnic groups, key recommendations include assistance for households with direct education costs, as well as support at the school level for professional development of teachers, adapting curriculum and materials, bilingual education, gender training, improving school facilities, and provision of safe and friendly learning environments.
As there were no observable differences between the groups on these key questions, we analysed the data for the sample as a whole.
To test for differences between groups due to dropout, we compared key clinical features and basic characteristics of patients listed with participating and nonparticipating GPs.
The results of between-groups statistical comparisons are reported for at least one key outcome.
For those herds that remain locally, we found significant differences between group ranches on two key herding parameters: maximal distance to water and herding radius.
A complicity between these two groups is key to the success of such a programme.
Additionally, because of the potential for differential between-group attrition due to the nature of recruitment, all analyses will be investigated to see whether results are sensitive to possible between-group imbalances in key demographic, social, or clinical characteristics.
