Abstract: Hong Kong is facing integrating people who are intellectually disabled and who have mental health difficulty in the community because of public resistance. Understanding this discrimination is of theoretical and practical concern. 822 Hong Kong residents were surveyed to determine the association between the public's personal interaction, education, age and sex with its discriminatory attitudes.
