| Sumario: | Background There are few available tools for screening and assessing mental distress in people with intellectual disabilities. Method Comparison of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation: Learning Disabilities (CORE-LD) tool with other psychometrically robust but more specific measures.
