This research was conducted by Katherine Owen, Jane Hubert and Sheila Hollins.  It was published in the British Journal of Learning Disability in 2008.

Previous research into deinstitutionalization has largely ignored the perspective of people with intellectual disabilities, especially those with severe intellectual disabilities. This research aimed first to understand how women with severe intellectual disabilities experienced transition from a locked ward of an old long-stay hospital into other homes, and second, to determine the extent to which their lives changed in their new homes.
