Six randomized controlled trials studied educational interventions for people with physical disabilities (<i>n</i> = 2); cognitive, intellectual, or developmental disabilities (<i>n</i> = 2); sensory disabilities (<i>n</i> = 1); and serious mental illness (<i>n</i> = 1), with mixed findings on effectiveness for different preventive services.
