Abstract:
Infection prevention and control (IPC) practices are important to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in congregate residential settings, including group homes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). These settings face unique challenges and often receive fewer IPC resources than other congregate residence types. The New York City Health Department conducted a learning needs assessment comprised of a survey among leadership (n=41) and focus groups with frontline staff (n=9). Results highlight the need for IPC guidance tailored specifically to IDD residential settings.
