Transitions for older people with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge others, and their family carers: a merged protocol for two rapid scoping reviews of evidence

Table 1 Focus of RR1 and RR2

	Population	Concepts	Context
RR1	Older (40+)^a adults with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge others.	Health and social care needs, experiences, service interventions and resources^b of and for these older adults.	Older (40+) adults with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge others transitioning to different contexts of care.
RR2	Family carers of older (40+) adults with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge others.	Health and social care needs, experiences, service interventions and resources of and for these family carers.	Family carers of older (40+) adults with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge others transitioning to different contexts of care.

^aOur rationale for defining ‘older adults with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge others’ as 40+ in this context is twofold. 40+ for people with learning disabilities has been selected to reflect the early onset of some chronic health conditions, such as dementia, for this group.¹⁰ In addition, defining 40+ enables us to include more family carers who might be described as ‘older’ and in need of new/additional support—i.e. family carers in their early 60s+
^bOur definition of ‘resources’ encompasses (written) guidance and practical tools publicly available in hard copy format and/or online
