  • Title: Correlates of community opposition to community residences for mentally retarded persons.
    Author: Seltzer MM.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1984 Jul; 89(1):1-8. PubMed ID: 6465207.
    Abstract:
    A sample of 43 community residences was studied in order to examine the correlates of community opposition. Residence that conducted public education were significantly more likely to encounter opposition than were residences that did not. The point in the development of the residence at which the community became aware of the existence of the facility was also found to be related to the extent of opposition encountered. Implications for policy and practice were discussed.
