ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe positive mental health, or "flourishing," and self-reported health trajectories among transition-aged young adults (TAYA) with developmental/learning and physical disabilities over a 12-year period, utilizing a population-based sample.METHODS:
This study features a secondary analysis of national data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition to Adulthood Supplement. The analytic sample included all TAYA with (n = 487) and without (n = 810) disabilities, including developmental/learning disabilities (DD/LD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and speech, hearing, and vision impairments who participated in 2017 Transition to Adulthood Supplement data collection (n = 1,297; M age = 24.5, standard deviation = 2.40). We utilized linear mixed modeling to retrospectively describe flourishing and self-reported health trajectories across 12 years among TAYA with and without disabilities between ages 18 to 28, adjusting for demographic and developmental characteristics.RESULTS:
Relative to TAYA without disabilities, TAYA with speech [0.10, 0.85] and vision impairments [0.10, 0.92], DD/LD [0.38, 1.11], and ADHD [0.27, 0.97] demonstrated lower flourishing. TAYA with speech [0.07, 0.36] and vision impairments [0.08, 0.38], DD/LD [0.15, 0.411], and ADHD [0.14, 0.93] reported lower health. Relative to TAYA with other disabilities, TAYA with ADHD [0.14, 0.93] and DD/LD [0.01, 0.29] reported lower flourishing and health, respectively. Interaction effects and descriptive analyses revealed distinct patterns of change for TAYA with ADHD.DISCUSSION:
TAYA with disabilities report lower flourishing and health, relative to TAYA without disabilities. TAYA with specific disabilities differ in their flourishing and health trajectories. Findings can inform the development of interventions for TAYA with disabilities.
