Effective Health Checkup Methods for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Part I: Intervention to Workplace Users with Autistic Tendencies

摘要

This study aims to provide an intervention for effective health checkup methods to adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) combined with autistic tendencies at the workplace in the community. We sent requests for participation to ninety six users in a metropolitan area. The final subjects were four users (4.2%), males, ages ranging from 20u27s to 40u27s, and ID from moderate to severe. After the intervention, three of the participants (75.0%) were able to successfully undergo all of the medical inspections. Our research affected participants concerning opportunities for proper checkups, reducing unnecessary expenditures, and changing attitudes of people involved in this study.
