PErsonalised Treatment packages for Adults With Learning disabilities who display aggression in community settings (PETAL) is a NIHR-funded programme that began in April 2020.
Aggression in adults with learning disabilities听is common and persistent over time. Moderate to severe aggression is considered a public health problem. It is a major reason for emergency care and admission to psychiatric hospitals and can significantly reduce the mental, and physical well-being and overall quality of life of the individual and their family/paid carers.
The PETAL therapy听aims to develop a personalised multicomponent approach听to explore the response of adults with learning disabilities who display aggression to the PETAL therapy alongside usual care compared to usual care alone in the NHS.

The PETAL programme is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) (NIHR200120).听More information about the study can also be found in NIHR鈥檚 website by clicking听.
