Nivel Panel Living Together - people with intellectual disabilities and family members

With the Nivel Panel Living Together we gain information on the care and living situation of people with a intellectual disability and their relatives, from their perspective.

One of Nivel's national panels

Nivel's Panel Living Together is part of Nivel's research infrastructure, which consists of panels, national databases and monitors. With this research infrastructure, Nivel provides relevant information from different perspectives: that of patients, clients and citizens, that of healthcare providers and that of the organisation of healthcare.

AimAim

By gathering information on the care and living situation of people with an intellectual disability and relatives from their perspective, we aim to support policy makers in improving the care and possibilities for these members of our society.

Panel membersPanel members

The Nivel Panel Living Together consists of:

  • approximately 500 people with a mild or moderate intellectual disability
  • approximately 350 relatives of people with an intellectual disability (mostly relatives sometimes good friends or professionals)

MethodologyMethodology

The panel members with intellectual disabilities are invited once every two years for an oral interview at their homes. The questions mainly concern participation issues: whether and how they participate in society and how they wish to participate.
Relatives receive a questionnaire once a year with questions about participation of the panel member with an intellectual disability in society.
