Chapter 7216AbstractBackground: Experience sampling may be useful for mental health research with people with intellectual disability, but the potential benefits are largely unknown. This multiple-method study investigated the accessibility and feasibility of experience sampling for assessing the mental health of people with intellectual disability.Method: A scoping review was conducted. Five databases were searched for experience sampling studies involving people with intellectual disability. Seven adults with an intellectual disability tested experience sampling apps with standardised questions about mental health, and were interviewed about their experiences in semi-structured interviews.Results: Seven studies were included in the scoping review. Two studies investigated feasibility. In the interviews, participants reported on the acceptability, availability, and appropriateness of experience sampling applications.Conclusions: There are still important gaps in knowledge about acceptability, availability, and appropriateness of experience sampling for people with intellectual disability. Researchers are recommended to tailor experience sampling applications to the needs and preferences of individual users.Lay summaryy Experience sampling is a method for repeatedly reporting about experiences, such as what participants are doing or feeling at a certain moment.y Our literature study found that very few studies have used experience sampling for assessing mental health of people with intellectual disability.y Some adults with mild intellectual disability in our study enjoyed using experience sampling apps and found it useful, and some did not enjoy it.y Experience sampling methods may be suitable for use in research and clinical practice. It is important for researchers to tailor experience sampling apps to the needs of individual users.Annelieke Muller sHL.indd 216 14-11-2023 09:07
