Abstract

Background: Intellectual Disability poses the significant public health challenge and stigma. Notably, there has been a steady increase over the past few years in the issuance of Unique Disability Identity (UDID) cards, which are specifically designated for individuals with disabilities.

Aim: To examine socio-demographic patterns and clinical profiles of individuals certified with intellectual disability (ID) for UDID.

Methods: This is a hospital-based cross-sectional study observed over 2 years at a tertiary care government hospital. Data from 960 applicants assessed for ID certification were chart reviewed. Diagnoses followed ICD-10 criteria, and standardized intelligence tests determined the level of ID.

Results: Mean age was 17.5 years. Of the applicants, 2.3% had borderline intelligence, 37.2% mild ID, 36.04% moderate, 15.8% severe, and 8.4% profound. Males comprised 63.2%, females 36.7%. Only 1.77% were employed.

Conclusion: The UDID initiative improves access to welfare and support services for individuals with ID, highlighting the need for ongoing policy and rehabilitation efforts.
