COVID-19's hidden toll: Study reveals greater mortality disparities for people with intellectual disabilities

Research examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with intellectual disabilities in the Netherlands. It shows that the mortality risk from COVID-19 was higher in people with intellectual disabilities than in the general population, and overall mortality disparities were further exacerbated during the first 2 years of the pandemic.
