Abstract
Family members provide significant practical and emotional support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across the lifespan. In September 2022, the State of the Science Conference on Community Living: Engaging Persons With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities From Underserved Racial, Ethnic, Linguistic, and Cultural Groups in Research was held. This article summarizes the efforts of the workgroup that developed research goals related to supporting families of people with IDD. The focus was on families with intersectional identities and minoritized communities. Recommended areas of future research include exploratory research to better understand the experiences of these families, perspectives of families with intersectional identities about the formal support system, funding for family support and services, and inclusive research strategies.
家庭成员为智力和发育障碍(IDD)患者的整个生命周期提供了重要的实际和情感支持。2022 年 9 月,社区生活科学大会(State of the Science Conference on Community Living)召开:让未得到充分服务的种族、民族、语言和文化群体的智力和发育障碍人士参与研究。本文总结了工作组在制定与支持智障人士家庭相关的研究目标方面所做的努力。重点是具有交叉身份的家庭和少数群体。建议的未来研究领域包括:为更好地了解这些家庭的经历而进行的探索性研究、具有交叉身份的家庭对正规支持系统的看法、为家庭支持和服务提供资金以及包容性研究策略。
