Psychiatric hospitalisation among individuals with intellectual disability referred to the START crisis intervention and prevention program

ConclusionsAmong this high‐risk referred group, more than 1 in 4 individuals were hospitalised in the year prior to referral. While results from the analyses will help profile those at risk for hospitalisation, the findings suggest that interventions at the policy level may play an important role in reducing psychiatric hospitalisation.
