The Societal Cost of Behaviors of Concern Among Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Residing in Small Residential Group Homes.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Engagement in behaviors of concern (BoCs) by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) living in small residential group homes can negatively impact the health, safety, and quality of life of the individuals themselves and others living and working in the home. Little is known about the societal cost of BoCs. The objective of this study was to quantify the cost of BoCs for residents, residential group homes, and public and healthcare services in terms of different behaviors. This descriptive study used incident and monthly behavior-tracking reports collected from small residential group homes for six months prior to implementing a social problem-solving intervention aimed at decreasing BoCs. The mean cost per BoC incident per resident was USD 80 ± 601. Health and safety incidents had the highest cost, followed by begging. BoCs impose costs on small residential group homes, public and healthcare services, and residents themselves.
