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.
