Understanding cigarette smoking and cessation among adults with intellectual disability in residential services: A multiperspective study
Findings highlight the need for rights-based, person-centered cessation approaches for people with ID. Cessation strategies should extend beyond pharmacology to include emotional, social, and environmental dimensions, while aligning with individuals' values and experiences. Professionals require training to balance health promotion with self-determination. Future interventions should prioritize empowerment and provide tailored, evidence-based support addressing personal and contextual factors.
