Discusses the results of a study to evaluate the appropriateness of activities of daily living (ADL) scales as outcome measures of a community-based multidisciplinary service to physically disabled young people. A literature search was undertaken which raised several questions and concerns. To find out how other teams addressed these issues, telephone interviews were conducted with occupational therapists working in similar NHS teams. They were asked about the nature of their services, their use of ADL and ADL scales and whether these were administered as outcome measures.
