People with intellectual disabilities die at a younger age and have
poorer health than their non-disabled peers. This is largely avoidable
and is unjust. This book uses concepts from contemporary public health
to provide a comprehensive evidence-based overview of: the nature and
extent of the health inequalities experienced by people with
intellectual disabilities; why these inequalities occur and persist;
and what can and needs to be done to address these inequalities. The
authors have a wealth of firsthand experience gained from years of
working at the interface between disability research and public
health. This experience is collected and shared in this volume, which
will be an invaluable resource for practitioners, advocates,
policymakers and researchers concerned with health and social care and
the wellbeing of disabled people.
