Journal ArticleDOI
A total population study of challenging behaviour in the county of Hedmark, Norway: prevalence, and risk markers.
TL;DR: It is concluded that declining prevalence of challenging behaviour at older ages is not a result of a young age structure of the population, and no association between gender and challenging behaviour was found.

Challenging Behaviours: Prevalence and Topographies.
Kathy Lowe,David Allen,David Allen,Edwin Jones,Edwin Jones,Sam Brophy,Kendra E. Moore,W. James +7 more
TL;DR: Prevalence rates for seriously challenging behaviours were comparable to those reported in the earlier studies, thus confirming previous findings, and the prevalence of less serious challenging behaviour also has major clinical significance.

Mental illness, challenging behaviour, and psychotropic drug prescribing in people with intellectual disability: UK population based cohort study
TL;DR: The proportion of people with intellectual disability who have been treated with psychotropic drugs far exceeds the proportion with recorded mental illness, and more evidence is needed of the efficacy and safety of psychotropics in this group, particularly when they are used for challenging behaviour.

Problem behavior and psychiatric impairment within a developmentally disabled population I: behavior frequency.
TL;DR: Statistically significant relationships were found between age, intellectual level, psychiatric impairment and residential setting and mean within-case problem behavior weights, though these relationships accounted for small proportions of the total variance.

Prevalence of self-injurious behaviors in a large state facility for the retarded: a three-year follow-up study.
TL;DR: A combined informant questionnaire and interview survey of self-injurious behavior (SIB) at a large state facility for the retarded was conducted independently three times over a 3-year period, suggesting that SIB was amenable to behavior modification in most cases.

The form and function of challenging behaviours
Eric Emerson,J. Bromley +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of aspects of the topography and behavioural function underlying the challenging behaviours of all people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour in a defined geographical area indicated that more severe challenging behaviours were shown by people with more severe disabilities.

The nature and extent of aggressive behaviour amongst people with learning difficulties (mental handicap) in a single health district
TL;DR: The results indicated that, although physical and verbal aggression were the most frequently reported behaviours, many of the sample were also said to engage in other forms of challenging behaviour, particularly self-injurious, ritualistic, stereotypical and withdrawn behaviour.
