This book provides a concise review of what we know in nine key areas in healthcare and health outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Section I: Foundations, provides a framework for understanding the essential elements of well-being, social determinants of health, and consent.
Section II: Systems, examines the connections within and between systems to determine how to improve the overall performance of healthcare financing and delivery, health
outcomes, and IDD–competent healthcare systems.
Section III: Anchors, illustrates the impact of system-wide policies and practices on individuals with IDD, who experience health inequity across adulthood, need access to
mental healthcare, and access to effective health promotion strategies.

Intended for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and students, the content of the chapters can be used to inform future developments in public policy, research, and practice.
