Abstract

People with intellectual disability (ID) form a small but significant part of the population. They experience higher mortality and morbidity rates than others in the community. People with ID are at increased risk of having multiple chronic and complex health conditions. Treatment and treatment engagement is complicated by cognitive and communication difficulties, as well as by the important role played by caregivers. In this chapter, the health disparities faced by people with ID will be discussed, and factors that influence treatment engagement will be outlined. Examples will be given in specific areas of healthcare and of strategies that have been used to improve treatment engagement.
