Although sexual abuse of people with intellectual disabilities has emerged as a major issue in the West over recent years, few researchers have examined this issue in Taiwan. The prevalence and current state of sexual abuse for people with intellectual disabilities in Taiwan were investigated here. Results of face-to-face interviews with 336 subjects revealed that the prevalence of sexual abuse for this population is 5.4%. This low prevalence of sexual abuse has certain cultural implications; most people with intellectual disabilities live in supported living settings and are, therefore, excluded from community life. Increased effort is needed to develop effective service programs for abuse prevention and strategies should be developed to improve the limitations in the present study.
尽管近年来智力残疾者遭受性虐待在西方已成为一个重大问题，但在台湾很少有研究人员对此问题进行过调查。在此对台湾智力残疾者性虐待的发生率和现状进行了调查。对336名受试者进行面对面访谈的结果显示，该人群性虐待的发生率为5.4%。这种较低的性虐待发生率有一定的文化影响；大多数智力残疾者生活在受支持的生活环境中，因此被排除在社区生活之外。需要加大力度制定有效的预防虐待服务项目，并且应该制定策略来改善本研究中的局限性。
