“…The authors advocate this method when researchers want to determine the views of 'users' themselves in their own language, and want to minimise the influence of the researcher. The method is also suitable to use in determining the consensus in groups where the members are not of equal standing or have a relationship of authority, and in groups where participants find it difficult to express their individual views or are incapable of doing so [31,32,44]. The method is widely used in health-care studies; see [14] for a review of the relevant literature.…”

Individuals with an intellectual disability (ID) have sexual feelings, are sexually active and have ideas about sexuality. There is limited information available about the ideas and experiences regarding sexual expression, interests and knowledge of sexual rights in this population. This study aims to identify the ideas, expressions, barriers to sexuality, experienced by people with IDs, using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). The NGT was used to explore the views of people with mild ID on sexual needs and issues. NGT is a structured and specific form of focus group research. It is a 'single-question' technique that combines quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection for relatively small groups. NGT involves four steps: silent generation of ideas, round robin recording of ideas, clarification of ideas, and ranking of ideas. It was an inclusive research project: people with an ID were involved in the design, planning, performance, and analysis of the study. In total 39 people with mild IDs were able to explore their experiences and ideas on sexuality. They were able to answer questions like: What are their needs? What are their problems? They were capable of expressing their views, needs and barriers on sexuality and sexual rights. The most important items were the relationship between two people (47%), sex and sex related subjects as sex education (23%), and feeling safe and comfortable (10%). People with mild IDs are capable of expressing their views on sexuality and sexual rights. The participants stated that they need support in achieving these rights. The nominal group technique appears to be an appropriate methodology on sensitive issues as sexuality and sexual rights.

The use of the NGT to gain the health care perspectives of adults with cognitive disability is promising. Conducting nominal group techniques informed by the methodological considerations identified within this review can work towards ensuring that the health care perspectives of people with cognitive disability are considered. Implications for rehabilitation The emergent policy move towards self-directed health care for people with disability requires that the health care perspectives of people with disability are considered. Effective consultation and discussion techniques are essential to gain the health care perspectives of people with cognitive disability. After undertaking methodological considerations, the NGT can be an effective approach towards gaining the health care perspectives of people with cognitive disability.

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities must often advocate for themselves in many facets of life, including sexuality. Because of this, sexual self-advocacy is an important concept to develop and apply to policy and practice. This paper provides a conceptualization of sexual self-advocacy, a view of sexuality formulated by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities that is closely tied to the values of the SelfAdvocacy Movement. In describing the study process, this paper also puts forth the Participatory Action Research method, Nominal Group Technique, as an accessible method for gaining insight from adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The choice of Nominal Group Technique as a research method was motivated by several factors. Nominal Group Technique served to counterbalance many of the potential research difficulties when working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including the need for understandable, inclusive, and participatory ways to access data from people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and addressed the topic of sexual self-advocacy that is important to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
