We conducted a scoping review to enhance the level of knowledge and provide an up-to-date overview of GP care for patients with both ID and MHD, identify knowledge gaps, and inform research, practice, and policy about opportunities to improve care.MethodsThis review follows Arksey and O’Malley’s 18 framework for scoping reviews, revised by Khalil et al., 19 and describes methods and results in line with the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. 20Defining the research questionThe guiding research question was: What has been described about the care for adult patients with both ID and MHD provided by GPs? The key concepts are defined in Supplementary Table 2.1.Retrieving relevant publicationsRelevant publications were identified using a three-step literature search.19 Firstly, Pubmed, PsychINFO, and Embase were explored (01/1994 and 09/2019), using search terms pertaining to ‘primary care’ and ‘intellectual disability’, informed by an information specialist (Supplementary Table 2.1). Selected publications were searched for keywords missed in the initial search. This yielded an additional search string for ‘ID’ (Supplementary Table 2.1). Secondly, relevant publications were retrieved from grey literature, using the recommendations of ‘Grey Matters’. 21 Common search terms for ‘primary care’ and ‘intellectual disability’ in English and in Dutch were used (Supplementary Table 2.1). Thirdly, the reference lists were searched for additional relevant publications. Selection of publicationsDuplicates were removed, and the first author (KP) performed a first selection on title and abstract.
