Describes the development and identification of a set of health targets for adults with an intellectual disability in Australia. The authors developed the targets through a process of collaboration, consultation and literature review. The targets were included if reliable studies had shown the conditions to be highly prevalent, easily detected, and amenable to treatments that are readily available. It is envisaged that these targets will be further refined and eventually endorsed by the Australian Society for the Study of Intellectual Disability (ASSID) for presentation to the World Health Organisation in the year 2000.
