It could be that the community clinicians were less well trained, or less uniformly trained than those in other conditions; it could be that children had more noncompliance, or that there wasn’t appropriate matching between case and treatment in this condition. It could be that there were additional insurance issues in this condition with securing the appropriate treatment, compared to other conditions.
