| Sumario: | Providing medical and dental care for adults with developmental disabilities requires specialised care that includes caregiver's perceptions of processes of care as integral to informing care delivery. We examined the reach and efficacy of a medical-dental clinic serving adults with developmental disabilities as part of a program evaluation in the community setting. Using the RE-AIM framework, we analysed caregivers' perceptions of the processes of care and associations with sociodemographic factors and stress and depression levels. Perceptions of the processes of care were correlated with caregiver stress levels. Low satisfaction with receipt of general and specific information suggests that care coordination should be prioritised. The ecosystem of care needs to be targeted in addition to services directed at the individual. Shared evaluation frameworks between service deliveries modalities would allow comparison of family-centred care delivery systems. |
