Poor participation in primary health care contributes to the high levels of undetected and unmanaged health issues and premature deaths of people with an ID. Limited research is available on the characteristics of people with an ID, their reasons for consulting general practitioners (GPs), and if these differ to people without an ID. Gaining such insights may provide an avenue to better understand patterns of primary care use and potential gaps in usage by people with an ID given their complex health profile compared with people without an ID.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A secondary analysis of data collected January 2003 to December 2012 from The Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health programme was used. Participant characteristics and their reasons for encounter, pre\u2010 and post\u2010age\u2010sex standardisation, at all GP encounters with people identified in the encounter record as having an ID (\u2018ID\u2019 encounters, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009690) were compared with those at \u2018non\u2010ID\u2019 encounters (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009970\u2009641).

Participants at ID encounters had a skewed demography, an over\u2010representation of presentations for psychological, social and \u2018general and unspecified\u2019 reasons, and an under\u2010representation of presentations for core physical health and preventive health measures. Administrative rather than medically related reasons dominated presentations to general practice at ID encounters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There are significant differences in the characteristics of participants and their reasons for presentation to general practice in Australia for participants at ID encounters compared with non\u2010ID encounters. This work suggests that there is a difference in service use patterns between these two groups. These findings may suggest that people with an ID experience barriers to participating in essential primary healthcare services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jir.12301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,9]],"date-time":"2016-06-09T09:37:01Z","timestamp":1465465021000},"page":"1119-1127","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Primary health care for people with an intellectual disability: an exploration of demographic characteristics and reasons for encounters from the BEACH programme"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Weise","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental Disability Neuropsychiatry School of Psychiatry  UNSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Pollack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Family Medicine Research Centre, School of Public Health, Sydney Medical School The University of Sydney  Sydney NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Britt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Family Medicine Research Centre, School of Public Health, Sydney Medical School The University of Sydney  Sydney NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
