Thesis
Gordon, J. S. Randomised Controlled Trial. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6570

Constipation is common in childhood, rarely life threatening and' therefore might be expected to have little impact on health care provision. The reality is somewhat different, with many children requiring medical and nursing management for this c...
