This study aims to identify risk markers associated with challenging behaviours in individuals with intellectual disabilities through a meta-analysis of existing literature.
Conducted a meta-analysis of 86 studies, focusing on data from 22 studies with sufficient information.
Identified correlations between challenging behaviours and factors such as sex, degree of intellectual disability, and diagnosis of autism.
Evaluated the methodological quality of studies to assess risk markers.
Males were significantly more likely to exhibit aggression compared to females (p<0.05).
Individuals with severe/profound intellectual disabilities exhibited higher rates of self-injury and stereotypy than those with mild/moderate IDs (p<0.05).
Those with autism showed a greater likelihood of self-injury, aggression, and environmental disruption.
