Public Health Approaches to Promote Health Equity for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A Systematic Review.
Article in Annals of public health & epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience persistent health disparities due to systemic barriers in healthcare access, limited provider training, and exclusion from public health research and interventions. Objective: To identify and synthesize public health strategies, interventions, and/or policies that effectively promote health equity among individuals with IDD. Methods: This systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and included 33 peer-reviewed studies, qualitative, quantitative, and mixedmethods, published in English. Eligible studies focused on public health approaches to enhancing healthcare access and health outcomes for individuals with IDD. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), while the quality and strength of evidence were further evaluated using the GRADE approach. Data synthesis was conducted through thematic analysis. Results: Six key themes emerged: (i) training for healthcare providers, (ii) early intervention and preventive care, (iii) healthy lifestyle promotion, (iv) accessible and inclusive healthcare, (v) research and data collection, and (vi) care coordination. Each approach contributed to improved health outcomes and reduced disparities in healthcare access and quality for individuals with IDD. Conclusion: Promoting health equity for individuals with IDD requires coordinated, system-level public health strategies. Interventions must be inclusive, scalable, and responsive to the complex needs of this population. Greater investment in training, research, data collection, and inclusive policy design is crucial for achieving sustainable equity.
