Description
Summary:In the United States, data on the number of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (ID/DD) living in institutional and other congregate care settings have been gathered and reported since 1977 through the Residential Information Systems Program (RISP) at the University of Minnesota (e.g., Prouty & Lakin, 1997). These data were originally gathered through surveys of licensed residential settings (until 1982) and more recently through surveys of state and sub-state administrative agencies responsible for residential services. This paper combines data from the RISP project (covering people with ID/DD living in the US residential service system) with data from the NHIS-D (covering people with ID/DD in the non-institutionalised US population) to estimate the distribution of the US population with ID/DD living in each of several types of residential settings. Based on the NHIS definition of institutions, it was assumed for the purposes of this paper that people living in congregate settings with 4 or more others were not represented in the NHIS-D. People in congregate settings were identified using the RISP reports. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
