  • Title: Individual and family factors associated with risk of institutionalization of mentally retarded adults.
    Author: Black MM, Cohn JF, Smull MW, Crites LS.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1985 Nov; 90(3):271-6. PubMed ID: 4083307.
    Abstract:
    A demographic description of the individual and family characteristics of mentally retarded persons referred for placement at a state residential facility in 1982 was presented. Three outcome dispositions (continued home placement, institutional placement, and community residential placement) were considered. Findings suggest that measurements of risk of institutionalization must be expanded beyond personal characteristics of retarded individuals to include stress factors within the family.
