Equity and Quality in Assistive Technology for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury

This study looks at the characteristics that impact the quality of assistive technology received and the health-related outcomes for individuals with spinal cord injury. If you decide you would like to take part in this research study, you will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires over a phone interview.

Residential Instability in Chronic SCI

This study explores the effect of moving and changing addresses on the health and well-being of persons with SCI. Specifically, we want to assess: 1. who moves, why they move, and where they move; 2. if movers and non-movers differ in health and community participation outcomes; and 3. if movers and non-movers differ in healthcare access and utilization. You will be asked to complete a short survey which asks about your past and present addresses, neighborhood choice, how you feel about your neighborhood, and what types of resources and services are available where you live.
