Intellectual Disability & Developmental Delays in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling intellectual disability causes, diagnosis, early intervention, education, and family support across three service tiers in SSA. Prevalence 1-3% globally, higher in LMICs; perinatal asphyxia, malnutrition, infections are major causes.

Parameterization Evidence

Parameter	Value	Source	Year
ID prevalence 1-3% globally; higher in LMICs	Burden	WHO	2023
Causes: asphyxia, malaria, meningitis, malnutrition	Aetiology	Lancet	2022
<0.1 psychiatrists per 100K in most SSA	Workforce	WHO Atlas	2020
