  • Title: Research on mental retardation: an agenda for the future.
    Author: Verdugo MA.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 2000 Jun; 86(3 Pt 2):1189-99. PubMed ID: 10932578.
    Abstract:
    This article summarizes the results of a study carried out on 12 scientific journals that deal with research on mental retardation. The purpose was to analyze the type of research currently being published. Data shows that, although most of research on mental retardation from 1991 to June, 1999 agrees with the multidimensional system proposed by the AAMR in 1992, research still tends to focus on a psychopathological model when considering people with mental retardation. We conclude by offering several suggestions on the need for a collaborative approach between researchers and professionals and the benefits of developing a supportive culture for research.
