Twelve participants (aged 21-48 years old) were interviewed following screening for insomnia, using the Sleep Condition Indicator (scores ranged from 1 to 12; cut off >16).

Rates, causes and predictors of all-cause and avoidable mortality in 163 686 children and young people with and without intellectual disabilities: a record linkage national cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate mortality rates and associated factors, and avoidable mortality in children/young people with intellectual disabilities.

Design: Retrospective cohort; individual record-linked data between Scotland's 2011 Census and 9.5 years of National Records for Scotland death certification data.

Cohort profile: Scotland's record-linkage e-cohorts of people with intellectual disabilities, and autistic people (SCIDA).

Purpose: To investigate health, mortality and healthcare inequalities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities, and autistic people, and their determinants; an important step towards identifying and implementing solutions to reduce inequalities. This paper describes the cohorts, record-linkages and variables that will be used.
