Date Presented 04/04/19 A cross-sectional analysis of billing records for privately insured individuals with and without IDD from across the US was conducted to determine the prevalence of STI and STI testing among individuals with IDD. Our results speak to the need for increased STI testing in this population. OT practitioners have a unique role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and safety for this population.

Date Presented 4/8/2016 This study compared measurement accuracy between the FIM–13 item and varied 4- and 8-item short forms. We inferred that using short form for group classification might obtain better measurement accuracy than using individual converted scores.

Date Presented 4/10/2016 This study compared measurement precision across item bank and six 4- and 8-item short forms (SFs). Overall, SFs with the same numbers of items demonstrated similar precision. The findings provide empirical evidence for compromising between efficiency and precision when measuring client’s function.
