The role of aging and disability resource centers in serving adults aging with intellectual disabilities and their families: findings from seven states.
The purpose of this project was to assess the activities of aging and disability resource centers (ADRCs) as they seek to serve older adults with intellectual disabilities and their family caregivers. Results of this qualitative analysis indicate that ADRCs are not focusing explicitly on adults aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their family caregivers.

Assessing nursing care needs of children with complex medical conditions: The Nursing-Kids Intensity of Care Survey (N-KICS).
The researchers designed and tested the Nursing-Kids Intensity of Care Survey (N-KICS) tool and describe intensity of nursing care for children with complex medical conditions. Their psychometric evaluation confirmed an acceptable standard for reliability and validity and feasibility. Intensity scores were highest for nursing care related to infection control, medication administration, nutrition, diaper changes, hygiene, neurological and respiratory support, and standing program.
