There was substantial agreement across quantitative and qualitative studies that a move to community living was associated with improved QoL. QoL for people with any level of intellectual disabilities who move from any type of institutional setting to any type of community setting was increased at up to 1\u2009year postmove (standardised mean difference [SMD] 2.03; 95%\u2009CI [1.21 to 2.85], five studies, 246 participants) and beyond 1\u2009year postmove (SMD 2.34. 95%\u2009CI [0.49 to 4.20], three studies, 160 participants), with total QoL change scores higher at 24 months comparative to 12 months, regardless of QoL measure used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our systematic review demonstrated a consistent pattern that moving to the community was associated with improved QoL compared with the institution.
