A meta-analysis of intervention effects on challenging behaviour among persons with intellectual disabilities
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) often show challenging behaviour. We review distinct interventions that are applied to treat these challenging behaviours, and analyse intervention effects and moderating variables. METHODS: A literature search was conducted using the databases ERIC, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Medline. A random-effects meta-analysis was carried out, supplemented with sensitivity, subgroup, meta-regression and publication bias analyses. RESULTS: Eighty potential articles were identified, from which 30 contained sufficient data to enable statistical meta-analysis. From these 30 studies, 18 described a biological, 13 a psychotherapeutic and nine a contextual intervention, either applied alone or combined. The overall standardised mean difference was 0.671 (SD = 0.051). As shown by sensitivity analysis, this summary effect size is robust. Assessed through subgroup and meta-regression analysis, all tested moderators showed no statistically significant association with the treatment effects. After applying a funnel plot-, a fail-safe N-, and Duval's and Tweedie's trim and fill-analysis, we conclude that our meta-analysis does not suffer much from publication bias effects. CONCLUSIONS: Several biological, psychotherapeutic and contextual interventions effectively reduce challenging behaviours among persons with ID.

Behavioural interventions can be effective in reducing challenging behaviour in individuals with autism spectrum disorder and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“Behavioural interventions can be effective in reducing CB in individuals with ASD and/or IDD (32, 33).”
From ProVIA-Kids - outcomes of an uncontrolled study on smartphone-based behaviour analysis for challenging behaviour in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities or autism spectrum disorder (2024) · cites this paper as [33]
The Description of primary studies and participants identifies behavioural interventions among the treatments reviewed, and the Discussion reports evidence that psychotherapeutic interventions can reduce challenging behaviour in people with intellectual disabilities. The paper does not establish that finding for people with autism spectrum disorder who do not also have intellectual disabilities, so it supports the IDD portion but not the full stated population.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
