  • To identify strategies for reducing stigma and improving healthcare access for people with ID.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing literature on stigma and intellectual disabilities.
  • Review of findings from confidential inquiries into premature deaths of people with ID.
  • Discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare access for this population.

Main Results:

  • Stigma is a major barrier to specialist services for people with ID.
  • Individuals with ID experience a significantly reduced lifespan compared to the general population.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing challenges and barriers to care.

Conclusions:

  • Innovative interventions leveraging technology are needed to reduce stigma.
  • Virtual contact methods can help break down barriers to specialist services.
  • Addressing stigma is critical to improving healthcare quality and reducing the mortality gap for people with ID.
