Using a participatory research approach, we enlisted 12 U.S. Centers for Independent Living (CILs) to recruit and enroll 170 adults with intellectual disability (ID) to be randomized to either The Safety Class, an abuse prevention group program, or usual care. Participants were asked to complete pre, post, and 3-month follow-up questionnaires. CIL staff members facilitated the eight-session, interactive program. Quantitative and qualitative findings suggest that participation in a brief safety program may improve safety protective factors among men and women with ID. The Safety Class serves as one model for delivering an abuse prevention and education intervention to adults with significant safety needs but extremely limited access to relevant community resources.

对智障成人安全意识小组计划的评估。

使用参与式研究方法，我们招募了 12 个美国独立生活中心 (CIL)，招募和招募了 170 名智障 (ID) 成人，随机分配到安全班、预防虐待小组计划或常规护理。参与者被要求完成前、后和 3 个月的随访问卷。CIL 工作人员促成了为期八次的互动项目。定量和定性结果表明，参与简短的安全计划可能会改善 ID 男性和女性的安全保护因素。安全课程是一种模式，可以向具有重大安全需求但对相关社区资源的访问极其有限的成年人提供虐待预防和教育干预措施。
