abstract="A total of 770 persons with mental retardation were evaluated to determine the frequency and types of incidents occurring in urban-based group homes. All persons resided in group homes located in a large city. Over an 18-month period, a total of 3075 incidents in 14 categories, were documented. Two categories, behavioural incidents and medication errors, comprised 61% of all incidents recorded. Further, a small number of clients accounted for a disproportionately high number of behavioural incidents. Results point to the need to apportion resources based on frequency and types of incidents occurring in group homes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
