Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study was to develop an evaluation method for the care management of persons with disabilities by promoting a four-point research agenda, which included a literature review and a survey study, in stages. The four specific studies are "Assessment of the quality of life of persons with intellectual disabilities living in the community," "Examination of the process of transition to the community in support facilities for persons with disabilities," "Outcome evaluation regarding transition to community life using the CRPD index," and "Factors that may achieve transition to the community. As a result, in the evaluation of life satisfaction and quality of life, it became clear that there is a need for more detailed study on the application in Japan of the evaluation indicator ASCOT used in the U.K. The results of the survey revealed that matters related to cooperation with related organizations play a major role as a factor in achieving the transition to the community.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	文献研究からは地域移行の生活の質を高める効果がみられる一方で障害者の支援環境に課題のある場合には、生活の質に負の影響がみられることもあることが示され、地域移行の評価に関してはさらに十分な検討が必要なことが示唆された。地域移行・地域定着に関する調査研究では、先駆的な相談支援事業所の職員への面接調査と全国の指定一般相談支援事業所の調査から、地域移行支援の実施には「移行者を含めた関係者との連携」「移行者の支援ニーズを見極める」ことが重要であり、実施の評価指標として「移行者を含めた関係者との連携」が示された。地域移行に関する評価指標に関して実証的な調査を通して連携の重要性を明らかにすることができた。
