Background: The research project ‘Gemeinschaftlich mit un- terstützer Teilhabe’ (GUT) was initiated in response to an ex- pert commission report following incidents in group homes for people with intellectual disabilities in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The project addresses the lack of available data on the living conditions of people with intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviour in NRW. Therefore, the project uses a mixed methods approach to collect data in the areas of housing, healthcare and vocational and social participation. Methods: Between 07/24 and 01/25, a systematic data collec- tion was carried out in the form of an online survey targeting relevant service providers in the areas of housing, employment and healthcare. The survey collected structural data about the service provider as well as individual data of the persons with cognitive impairment and challenging behaviour currently re- ceiving care by the providers. Structural data included infor- mation on the type of provider, location, staffing and training provided. For individuals, data were collected on sociodemo- graphic status, type and level of challenging behaviour and re- alized participation. 1008 Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2025 Results: The poster reports on the results of the quantitative analysis of the client population that was reported by support settings.
