在这项研究中,我们研究如何COVID-19中断服务的智力和发育障碍(IDD)在加州社区。辅助数据分析从一项调查(N = 1082)孤独症社会传播的加州在2020年5月。受访者被分为两类:自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)只有(n = 794)和IDD ASD (n = 288)。结果显示显著差异之间的服务诊断组(< . 05)。有三倍的差异损失喘息服务的ASD(4.3%)和IDD组(12.9%);48.5%在ASD组报告没有变化在喘息服务IDD组的71.5%。在大流行之前,意味着更高数量的医疗治疗服务报告收到ASD组(M = 1.38)比IDD组(M = 1.04)。然而,在调查的时候,IDD集团报道意味着更高数量的此类服务(M = 1.32)比ASD组(M = 1.02)。封锁之前,没有明显差异的意思是由种族数量的服务。然而,在调查的时候,明显高于平均数的服务被受访者报告确定为白色(M = 1.26)相比,有色人种(M =点),p < . 05。 When looking at predictors of service access, receipt, and perceived support, age and diagnosis were significant predictors across all. To our knowledge, this study is the first to compare services received by IDD diagnostic groups during COVID-19. Findings help elucidate the negative impact of COVID-19 on the IDD community in California, as well as inform strategies for the ongoing and post-pandemic periods.
