Who Is Treated Using Restrictive Behavioral Procedures? A Population Perspective.

Jacobson, John W.; Ackerman, Lee J.

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v14 n1 p51-65 Jan-Feb 1993

This study reports on the extent to which pharmacological and behavioral consequences were applied to behavior problems within a population of 31,000 adults in New York's developmental services system. Findings indicated that these consequences were significantly related to variables of intellectual level, residential setting type, type and extent of problem behaviors, and age. (Author/DB)
