Continued Involvement: A Scoping Review on Family Members' Needs and Experiences Collaborating With Support Staff for Relatives With Intellectual Disabilities Living Outside the Family Home.

Only ten studies were included, and the review did not exclude or weight studies by quality, so the strength of the evidence varies. Six of the ten included studies involved relatives with severe or profound intellectual disabilities, so the findings may not fit families of people with milder intellectual disabilities. Four studies did not report the level of intellectual disability, and living arrangements were not described clearly in some studies, so comparisons across settings are difficult. Many studies were done within five years after transition, so the review gives limited insight into long-term collaboration. The review focused on family members' experiences, not on support staff's needs or on whether any strategy improves outcomes.

The research was funded by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.

Do not read this as evidence that a specific family-staff collaboration method improves care. It is a scoping review of experiences and needs, so it maps what families report but does not test whether any approach works.
