abstract="OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between exposure to disablism and the health and well-being of adults with intellectual disabilities. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. METHODS: Secondary analysis of data extracted from the survey of Adults with Learning Difficulties in England 2003/4. RESULTS: Both self-reported exposure to bullying while at school and self-reported exposure to overt acts of disablism over the previous 12 months were associated with poorer self-reported health outcomes. In the vast majority of instances, these associations were stronger for people with lower levels of material or social resources. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to overt acts of disablism may contribute to the health inequalities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
