Inclusive education for people with intellectual disabilities: Insights from a COST action training school.
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2026. 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
Objectives: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (PWIDD) face persistent inequalities in accessing inclusive and health education. This contributes to lower participation in cancer screening, limited access to tailored health information, and poorer health outcomes. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a co-produced, pan-European COST Action CUPID Training School applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to improve cancer prevention education and health literacy for PWIDD. Study design: Co-produced, pan-European training intervention. Methods: A cross-European Training School was collaboratively developed by researchers, health professionals, educators, and PWIDD. UDL principles guided its design to ensure flexibility, accessibility, and inclusivity. A framework comprising six principles informed the approach: health literacy through tailored resources; inclusion of PWIDD as equal participants; co-production in shaping content and delivery; accessibility through easy-read, multimedia, and plain language formats; scaffolding to support confidence and comprehension; and cultural adaptation to different national contexts. Results: The Training School demonstrated that inclusive education, UDL, and participatory approaches can be applied effectively across international and cultural contexts. PWIDD contributed as both co-trainers and learners, enhancing relevance and accessibility. Participants reported increased awareness of inclusive practices, improved understanding of cancer prevention, and strengthened communication skills. Conclusions: A co-produced, UDL-informed framework centred on inclusion, co-production, health literacy, accessibility, scaffolding, and cultural adaptation offers a promising approach to advancing health literacy for PWIDD. Embedding these principles within mainstream health prevention and inclusive education strategies, alongside addressing systemic barriers, is essential for achieving sustained improvements in health equity.
