• Resumen

  • Date Presented 04/04/19 A cross-sectional analysis of billing records for privately insured individuals with and without IDD from across the US was conducted to determine the prevalence of STI and STI testing among individuals with IDD. Our results speak to the need for increased STI testing in this population. OT practitioners have a unique role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and safety for this population.
