Abstract

Data from the Massachusetts Service Coordination Battery were analyzed for institutionalized (N=406) and community-based (N=124) mentally retarded adults and for institutionalized (N=460) and community-based (N=95) mentally retarded older adults to determine differences in cognitive, medical, and functional impairment; service needs; and utilization. Differences were observed only in service needs and utilization. (Author/CB)
