The main goal of this study is to explore the characteristics of young people with intellectual disability in therapeutic residential care (TRC) in Spain and to identify the key variables associated with their referral to these services. Method The total sample consisted of 473 young people in residential child care in Spain (63.8% boys), aged between 12 and 17 years (M = 15.32), divided into three different groups for comparison. An ad hoc questionnaire and the Youth Self-Report were used to collect information. Results Participants with intellectual disability in TRC presented a higher frequency of externalising problems and risk behaviours than adolescents with disability in general residential programmes. However, it was lower than that of their peers without disability in TRC. Conclusions Needs of adolescents with intellectual disability should be assessed before a referral to these facilities, in order to adapt the interventions provided.","PeriodicalId":444774,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133722511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our sample consisted of 482 Romanians aged 18 to 74. We measured the overall attitudes toward intellectual disability, as well as some specific dimensions, i.e., integration or segregation, social distance, private rights, and subtle derogatory changes. Our results suggested that the most significant predictor of the overall positive attitude toward intellectual disability, as well as for the subtle derogatory beliefs and integration/segregation dimensions, was the perceived environmental causal belief about intellectual disability. Next, the biomedical causal was the most significant predictor for the social distance dimension. Finally, the perceived fate-related causal belief was the most significant predictor for the private rights dimension. We discuss our findings concerning their role in designing targeted public awareness programs.","PeriodicalId":444774,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114239826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
