Konarski, Edward A., Jr.; Sutton, Kelly; Huffman, Alice
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v102 n1 p37-44 Jul 1997
Investigation of episodes of injury and personal characteristics among 412 individuals with mental retardation living in Intermediate Care Facilities found that 16% of the group experienced 67% of injuries. Individuals taking antipsychotics, having higher maladaptive behavior scores, and having relatively higher levels of adaptive behavior were most likely to be in the high injury group. (Author/DB)
