  abstract: The present study investigates self-perceptions of adequacy
  abstract: of support among persons with mental retardation living in
  abstract: (a) suburban and (b) rural environments. Much of the
  abstract: literature on social networks and social support among this
  abstract: population concludes that these persons rely mostly on staff
  abstract: , parents, and other persons with mental retardation for
  abstract: support. Based on this evidence, it is hypothesized that
  abstract: persons living in rural communities are disadvantaged
  abstract: socially when compared with persons living in suburban
  abstract: communities. A case study method (Yin, 1994) was used to
  abstract: assess social support patterns and self-perceived adequacy of
  abstract: support among 8 persons with mental retardation living in
  abstract: semi-independent supported settings (4 rural and 4 suburban).
  abstract: Results indicate that suburban subjects generally had more
  abstract: sources of a variety of support types, used these supports
  abstract: more, and were generally more satisfied with the adequacy of
  abstract: their support when compared with rural subjects. In
  abstract: particular, suburban subjects were more likely to receive
  abstract: employment (e.g., sufficient work hours in satisfying jobs)
  abstract: and family support. Results are discussed in term of
  abstract: implications for service provision for persons with mental
  abstract: retardation living in geographically isolated areas.
