Awareness of Sexual Rights and Empowerment: Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of a Sexual Health Intervention for Adults with Intellectual Disability.

Young people with intellectual disability (ID) rarely have opportunities to form intimate relationships or receive long-term interventions promoting their sexual health and awareness of sexual rights. To promote sexual health in adults with ID in Taiwan, we utilized intervention research and inclusive research to introduce three interventions that involved adults with ID, their parents, and service workers. This paper primarily evaluates the outcomes of a two-year intervention to promote sexual and reproductive health knowledge/positive attitudes and quality of life for adults with ID.

Predictors of female worker attitudes towards menstruation and the provision of help to institutionalized women with intellectual disabilities in Taiwan.

No previous research has examined the importance of both individual and environmental factors for predicting caregivers' menstrual attitudes.

The Menstrual Attitudes Questionnaire (MAQ) and a structured questionnaire were used.
