Capabilities and limitations: Studies in subjects with an intellectual disability

On 29 October 2003 the Advisory Council on Health Research (Dutch acronym: RGO) received a request from the State Secretary of Health, Welfare and Sport for an advisory report on the current state of affairs with respect to medical and behavioural research on people with an intellectual disability and how to improve the level of cohesion in the research. She requested knowledge gaps to be identified and asked how research within the present research infrastructure could be further supported.
