Abstract
Polypharmacy, the concurrent use of multiple medications, is common among adults with intellectual disability. Psychotropic medications are often implicated in polypharmacy among this population. The current study aimed to determine individual and environmental factors associated with polypsychotropic medication regimens using a population-based sample of adults with intellectual disability who receive Home and Community-Based Services waivers in Oklahoma. The following questions guided the study: a) What is the prevalence of polypsychotropic medication regimens? b) What are the individual and environmental factors significantly associated with polypsychotropic medication regimens? Findings confirmed high prevalence rates of polypsychotropic medication regimens among adult participants and highlighted significant associated individual and environmental factors.
