    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral science
    • Psychology
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Adaptive behavior in community-placed individuals with intellectual disabilities is crucial for well-being.
    • Understanding problem behaviors and associated risks is essential for effective support.
    • Previous research has not fully detailed the nature and scope of jeopardy incidents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey adaptive behavior and problem incidents among community-placed individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • To identify the types and targets of jeopardizing behaviors.
    • To inform strategies for minimizing risks and improving support.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted a survey involving 424 community-placed individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • Collected data through tape-recorded interviews with 109 caretakers.
    • Analyzed 1252 reported incidents of problem behavior, focusing on 203 deemed to contain jeopardy.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 1252 problem behaviors, 203 incidents involved jeopardy.
    • Seventy-seven percent of jeopardy incidents threatened health/safety, 4% welfare, and 18% legal aspects.
    • In 79% of jeopardy incidents, the individual endangered themselves; 12% endangered a peer, and 9% endangered the community.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant number of problem behaviors pose risks to individuals with intellectual disabilities, peers, and the community.
    • Health, safety, and legal aspects are primary concerns in jeopardy incidents.
    • Further research and intervention strategies are needed to mitigate these risks effectively.
