Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop and validate a scale that caregivers can use to detect common ocular conditions in adults with intellectual disabilities. The project focuses on creating an item bank of ocular conditions specifically for this population, addressing the current lack of caregiver-assessable scales. By improving the identification of vision problems, the study seeks to enhance the overall health care access for adults with intellectual disabilities. The study will take place over one year and will involve primary caregivers of adults with intellectual disabilities.
