11. Clinic Specific Data<br />

In order to explore <strong>the</strong> potential impact of <strong>the</strong> aetiology of <strong>the</strong> disfiguring condition on<br />

adjustment, <strong>the</strong> data derived from out-patient clinics were examined. A summary of <strong>the</strong> outcome<br />

variables by clinic is given in Table 11.1. Box and whisker plots show <strong>the</strong> extent of individual<br />

variation within each out-patient clinic.<br />
