Abstract

Adults with intellectual disabilities (IDs) experience a higher incidence of injury, compared with the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the provision of aids and adaptations, residential service providers' individual risk assessments and training in these, and injury incident recording and reporting procedures, in relation to injury prevention. Interviews were conducted with a community-based cohort of adults with IDs (n¿=¿511) who live in Greater Glasgow, Scotland, UK and their key carer (n¿=¿446). They were asked about their aids and adaptations at home, and paid carers (n¿=¿228) were asked about individual risk assessments, their training, and incident recording and reporting procedures.
