title: Role of Human Rights Committees in the review of restrictive/aversive behavior modification procedures: a national survey.
abstract: Public residential facilities were surveyed regarding the roles played by their Human Rights Committees in the review of restrictive/aversive behavior modification procedures. Almost 98% of the responding facilities reported that they had an active Human Rights Committee, with the largest plurality of members being staff members from the facility. Review of restrictive/aversive procedures was a role for over 95% of the committees, even though most committees appeared to lack great degrees of expertise in the clinical use of behavior modification. Other areas of review were discussed.
