  • Title: Behavioural continence training in mental handicap: a 10-year follow-up study.
    Author: Hyams G, McCoull K, Smith PS, Tyrer SP.
    Journal: J Intellect Disabil Res; 1992 Dec; 36 ( Pt 6)():551-8. PubMed ID: 1477492.
    Abstract:
    Ten years after continence training, 14 severely and profoundly mentally handicapped individuals were found to have substantially maintained their improvements in bladder control. Completely independent self-initiated toileting had not been maintained, but the level of prompting to toilet was considerably less than before training. Those who had received intensive individual training fared much better than those who had received less intensive group training. Intensive individual training was found to be cost effective and resulted in very substantial savings in career time.
