As part of a broader research effort, a survey of the adaptive behavior of 424 community-placed retarded persons was conducted through small group, tape-recorded interviews with their 109 caretakers. From 1252 incidents of problem behavior cited, 203 were judged to contain jeopardy. Seventy-seven percent of these incidents involved jeopardy to health and/or safety, 4 percent to general welfare, and 18 percent contained legal jeopardy. In 79 percent of incidents, the client jeopardized himself, in 12 percent he jeopardized a fellow client, and in 9 percent he jeopardized a member of the community at large. The evidence exposes need for full examination of this problem and ways to minimize it.
作为一项更广泛研究工作的一部分，通过与109名照顾者进行小组录音访谈，对424名安置在社区的智障人士的适应性行为进行了调查。在所列举的1252起问题行为事件中，有203起被判定存在危险。其中77%的事件涉及对健康和/或安全的危险，4%涉及对一般福利的危险，18%包含法律危险。在79%的事件中，服务对象使自己处于危险之中，12%的事件中他使其他服务对象处于危险之中，9%的事件中他使社区中的其他人处于危险之中。证据表明有必要对这一问题进行全面审查并找出将其危害降至最低的方法。
