TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the two models of intensive support teams (ISTs) for adults with intellectual disabilities living in the community.

TL;DR: Although the research base on mental health in intellectual disabilities is advancing, there are long-standing barriers that hinder successful completion of funded studies.

TL;DR: The most commonly delivered intervention was positive behaviour support as mentioned in this paper and two intensive support models in England were identified in phase 1, a national survey examined the intensive support team models in operation in England, and phase 2, an observational study of adults with intellectual disabilities investigated the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the two intensification models.

TL;DR: A cohort study to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of two previously identified IST models in England provides evidence that both models were associated with clinical improvement for similar costs at follow-up.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted interviews and focus groups with 50 stakeholders (IST service managers and professionals, adults with intellectual disabilities, and family and paid carers) of ISTs.
