“…These effects were arguably more pronounced when involving participants with a moderate intellectual disability. However, our study did not support other research where recency effects and acquiescence were observed particularly in the context of formal interview-based methods (Atkinson, 1988; Jurowski and Paul-Ward, 2007; Redworth and Redworth, 1998) featuring a more structured line of questioning (see e.g., Glanzer and Cunitz, 1966; Voelker et al, 1990; Wyngaarden, 1981). However, it is important to point out that most of these studies focused on interviews within an evaluation context.…”

“…Hence, researchers have highlighted the benefits of using open-ended questioning and to avoid forced and categorical response formats (Voelker et al, 1990; Wyngaarden, 1981). Moreover, a number of researchers highlight the benefits of a carefully validated (Ramcharan and Grant, 2001), less formal approach (Atkinson, 1988; Jurowski and Paul-Ward, 2007; Redworth and Redworth, 1998).…”

People with intellectual disabilities and their families are increasingly being asked to provide input into the services they receive. Under the aegis of the United Nation Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, support plans crucially depend on a participant's articulation of his or her preferences and life goals. Yet, research highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of different methodological approaches has not been published. This study compared the results of a suite of qualitative methods (questionnaire, focus group, semi-structured interview, "case in point" ethnographic observation, photographic images, and carer proxy response) by identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each method employed. It also foregrounds an effective mix of methods that is likely to produce an adequate representation of the views of people with disabilities within the context of open-ended exploratory questions.

“…There are a number of reasons why participation may have been possible in our work. There is evidence that a ‘softer’, less formal approach to structured questioning with people with learning disabilities arguably yields more meaningful data (Atkinson 1988; Redworth & Redworth 1998), although careful validation is important (Ramcharan & Grant 2001). All elements of our interview were completed by all patients.…”

Obtaining views on health care from people with learning disabilities and severe mental health problems

Despite the rhetoric of involvement of people with learning disabilities in health care there is a dearth of research which examines the extent to which service users are included in evaluating their own care. This paper describes a study of methods for enabling people with learning disabilities and complex health needs to comment on the specialist inpatient care they received. Six service users consented to take part in interviews using analogue scales and photographs. The participants were able to engage in all elements of the interviews even though inclusion was more challenging because of additional health problems such as manic depression and paranoid psychosis. The suitability of research tools and approaches are discussed and barriers to inclusion identified. In this investigation a gap emerged between government policy of inclusion for everyone, and the realities of frontline practice where involvement was not achieved for some users with severe/profound disabilities. The study points to implications for increased resources, education and training if meaningful user involvement is to become established for individuals within routine practice.
