Why is it important?
As regarding the relationship among DSQIID and the demographic and clinical confounds, not investigated in the previous studies, findings support the clinical validity of DSQIID-I. Its score (Q2 & Q3) always appeared to be independent of gender, living conditions and most importantly of the severity of ID, at least in this study sample
Perspectives
We believe that the DSQIID-I represents an important starting point for a proactive and person and family centered approach to care for individuals with ID and dementia in Italy.
