We investigated socially inclusive participation in mainstream community groups and religious services by U.S. adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities using weighted secondary analyses of 2018-2019 National Core Indicators data. Overall, 34.4% participated in community groups and 42.4% in religious services. Some 45.0% had an unmet desire for community-group participation, whereas most (75.0%) attended a religious service as often as preferred. The type of companion varied by living arrangements and age group. Attending community groups and religious services were each strongly associated with better friendship outcomes but were not related to loneliness. The large unmet demand for community-group participation reveals a major gap. The friendship outcomes underline the benefits of socially inclusive community participation.
我们使用 2018-2019 年国家核心指标数据的加权二次分析，调查了美国有智力和发育障碍的成年人在主流社区团体和宗教服务中的社会包容性参与情况。总体而言，34.4%的人参加社区团体，42.4%的人参加宗教服务。约 45.0%的人表示渴望参与社区团体活动，但大多数人（75.0%）参加宗教服务的频率与他们的偏好一致。同伴的类型因居住安排和年龄组而异。参加社区团体和宗教服务都与更好的友谊结果密切相关，但与孤独感无关。对社区团体参与的巨大需求未得到满足，这反映出一个重大差距。友谊结果强调了社会包容性社区参与的好处。
