“…In the transition to adulthood, similar to their healthy peers, the young disabled desire independence and autonomy, including financial independence and a normal social life [2]. Employment plays an important role in independence and autonomy.…”

“…In addition to financial consequences, unemployment has negative effects on quality of life and mental health and may contribute to marginalisation from a normal social life [2,[6][7][8]. The young disabled have the same rights as their healthy peers to gain employment despite the limitations in receiving assistance in finding, obtaining and maintaining employment [9].…”

“…While there have been a number of studies on satisfaction with (health) services among those with learning disabilities using a range of designs (Copeland et al, 2014), prioritisation tasks have been used mainly with regard to inclusive research agenda-setting using 'money bags' to convey weighted importance (Nierse & Abma, 2011) and Q-sorting exercises, where the playful context of ranking cards onto a score sheet appeared to stimulate an open and positive interaction (Cramm et al, 2009). In our study, we sought to rank oral healthcare priorities, which is a complex task.…”

Accessible summary This study asked a group of people with learning disabilities in Ireland what was important to them about their dental services. The group easily ordered their priorities according to five topics: Access, Cost, Information, Quality of Care and Treatment. The group's discussion revealed a disempowered group who had little control over how they interacted with dental services. We suggest ways to empower people with learning disabilities in their interactions with dental services. Abstract Background: In Ireland, people with learning disabilities have poor oral health. This is in part due to inappropriate oral health services. Recognising the value of inclusive approaches to research and healthcare planning, this study sought to include a group of people with learning disabilities in priority setting for oral health services in Ireland. This study discusses the feasibility of the methods used to promote inclusive approaches in oral healthcare planning.Materials and Methods: A single focus group of six participants with communication and cognitive impairments agreed priorities for dental services using evidence‐based research tools across five topics: Access, Cost, Information, Quality of Care and Treatment. Sorting was recorded photographically and discussion was video‐recorded, transcribed and analysed using deductive content analysis.Results: The group ranked priorities within each topic but found it difficult to meaningfully rank between topics. Across topics, issues of control, empowerment and choice were observed.Conclusions: Participants were largely disempowered in their interactions with dental services. The method used in this study to empower potential service users with disabilities was successful and can be used by others who have an interest in inclusive healthcare priority setting.

“…Q-methodology is perhaps fairly novel in transportation research, but it has been around for about 75 years (Stephenson 1935) and is well-established in the political and social sciences (De Graaf 2005;De Graaf and van Exel 2009;Durning 1999;Ellis et al 2007;Niemeyer et al 2005;Steelman and Maguire 1999;Van Eeten 2000) and health services research (Baker 2006;Boot et al 2009;Bryant et al 2006;Cramm et al 2009;Jedeloo et al 2010;Kreuger et al 2008;Risdon et al 2003;Stenner et al 2000;Tielen et al 2008;Van Exel et al 2006, 2007. The number of published Q-studies in transportation research is limited.…”

This article presents the results of a study exploring travellers' preferences for middle-distance travel using Q-methodology. Respondents rank-ordered 42 opinion statements regarding travel choice and motivations for travel in general and for car and public transport as alternative travel modes. By-person factor analysis revealed four distinct preference segments for middle-distance travel: (1) choice travellers with a preference for public transport, (2) deliberate-choice travellers, (3) choice travellers with car as dominant alternative, and (4) car-dependent travellers. These preference segments differ in terms of the levels of involvement and cognitive effort in travel decision making, the travel consideration-set and underlying motivations. The study showed that for most people there is more to travel than getting from point A to point B, and that there is considerable heterogeneity in middle-distance travel preferences. Policy implications for reducing the need for travel and promoting a modal shift from car to other travel modes are discussed.

Abstract: From the perspective of people with an intellectual disability supported employment contributes to self-development and has a positive effect on well-being, albeit in different ways for the individual groups.
