Scott D. Landes et al.

Summary: Individuals with IDD receiving services in California have significantly varied COVID-19 outcomes depending on their residential setting and level of skilled nursing care. While they have a lower case rate compared to those not receiving IDD services, they have a higher case-fatality rate. The study suggests that the number of individuals within the residence impacts COVID-19 diagnosis, while adverse outcomes are associated with the level of skilled nursing care provided.
