Longitudinal health and intellectual and developmental disabilities
The Longitudinal Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disability Study (LHIDDS) tracked over 1600 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities over a seven-year period. The study examined the impact of health behaviors on the onset and development of certain secondary health conditions as well as functional limitations within the cohort. The project has been completed and more publications are underway.
