Stress, Anxiety and Coping in Adults With Down Syndrome: An Exploratory Co-Research Study.

Background: At least half of children and adults with Down syndrome have a major mental health concern during their life but few studies ask people with Down syndrome directly about their experience. We used a co-research model to explore anxiety, stress, and coping in adults with Down syndrome.

Methods: Our group of researchers and adults with Down syndrome conducted an online survey on mental health for adults with Down syndrome.
