The present study addresses critical gaps in the literature by examining residential transitions among 303 adults with intellectual disability (ID) over 10 years (Part 1) and 75 adults with Down syndrome over 20 years (Part 2). All adults lived at home at the start of the study, but many moved to a variety of settings. Several characteristics of the adults with ID differed across settings, most notably adaptive behavior and the number of residential transitions, whereas characteristics such as age, type of disability, and behavior problems were less predictive of residential placements. The number of moves over the course of the study varied widely, with critical links to earlier family dynamics, social relationships, and health and adaptive behavior.
本研究通过对 303 名智障成年人（第 1 部分）和 75 名唐氏综合征成年人（第 2 部分）在 10 年内的居住转变进行研究，填补了文献中的关键空白。所有成年人在研究开始时都住在家里，但许多人搬到了各种不同的环境中。ID 成年人的几个特征在不同的环境中有所不同，最显著的是适应行为和居住转变的次数，而年龄、残疾类型和行为问题等特征对居住安置的预测性较差。在研究过程中，搬家的次数差异很大，与早期家庭动态、社会关系以及健康和适应行为有重要联系。
