The objective of this study is to explore the benefits of internet use for people with intellectual disabilities (ID), the risks they might come up against while online, the barriers people with ID might come across due to the 'digital divide', and the opportunities offered by being online. The views and experiences of family carers and/or paid carers as well as the views of other safeguarding practitioners will also be investigated.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Online questionnaires - individuals with ID | A questionnaire will be used to investigate the online experiences of adults with ID. Four main key areas will be explored (benefits of using the internet, barriers, risks and opportunities). An easy read adapted version of the Facebook Intensity Scale (FIS; Ellison, Steinfield, & Lampe, 2007) will be used to explore participants' social media usage. | Through study completion, an average of 18 months | |
Primary | Online questionnaires - family carers, paid carers and safeguarding practitioners | The questionnaire explores the same four key areas as for people with ID (benefits of using the internet for people with ID, barriers, risks and opportunities). A modified version of the questionnaire used in Chadwick et al.'s (2017) study will be used as the basis for the stakeholder's questionnaires. | Through study completion, an average of 18 months | |
Secondary | Observations | The current study will create an app, specifically designed for people with ID. The participants will be given the task to help an avatar and guide their next step on some scenarios. Participants will be presented with multiple scenarios covering the study's four key areas. In total two avatars will be developed (one male and one female) following similar scenarios. | Through study completion, an average of 18 months | |
Secondary | A "think-aloud" observation | The observation will explore the participants' line of thought while online and their reasoning when making decisions. The participant will be asked to talk the researcher through each stage of his/her thinking process and decision making process when online. This observational method is particularly useful for people with ID who may not be very articulate. | Through study completion, an average of 18 months | |
Secondary | Qualitative interviews | 20 people with ID who use the internet will be interviewed to collect in depth information and further explore their views on the study's four key areas. The interviews will be conducted once and will be qualitative, semi- structured interviews (with prompts). | Through study completion, an average of 18 months | |
Secondary | Focus groups | The investigators will run 4 separate focus groups. One with family carers, one with paid carers, one with safeguarding practitioners and one including a mixture of paid, family carers and safeguarding practitioners to understand their perspectives and experiences on internet use for people with ID. It is intended that the carers will be independent of the subgroup of people with ID that will take part in the interviews, although there might be some overlaps. | Through study completion, an average of 18 months |
