ABSTRACT
The study was undertaken as part of an effort to poll
mentally retarded persons about their needs, attitudes, and
circumstances in order to form an information base for policymaking.
Five different studies were conducted to determine the ability of
mentally retarded people to understand questions and use speech to
convey facts and opinions. Each study involved interviewing mentally
retarded children or adults as well as a "significant other." In
chapter two, a review of the literature cites research implications
for interviewing mentally retarded people. The five study designs are
described in the next chapter, with attention to measuring
responsiveness and analyzing reliability and validity. The fourth
chapter reviews the logistical aspects of the interview approach and
offers suggestions for such aspects as obtaining consent, scheduling,
and using specific questioning approaches. Chapter five focuses on
responsiveness and discusses the difficulties interviewees had in
providing appropriate responses. Chapter six evaluates the
reliability of interviewee responses over time, while chapter seven
assesses the validity of responses (using correct-incorrect questions
and agreement with parents/attendants as measures of validity). In
chapter eight, direct comparisons of alternative questioning
strategies are presented. Following a summary chapter, 'appendices
provide sample interview schedules, suggestions for accessing
mentally retarded persons for interviews, and sample
explanation/consent forms. (CT)
