Outcomes in young adulthood: are we achieving community participation and inclusion?
These results suggest that adequate provision of accommodation and employment services for young adults with an ID is lacking.

Greater attention is needed to address these issues and facilitate social inclusion and integration for young people with ID.
Recent experience (in several jurisdictions and organisations) suggests that policies to directly erode tobacco industry power may contribute to the effectiveness of comprehensive tobacco control programmes. Some of these lessons could be incorporated into New Zealand's tobacco-control strategy.
