Participate in Research Study on Health Care Coordination for Adults with Physical Disabilities

06/24/09 -- 3:06 PM

The University of Minnesota's Institute on Community Integration is conducting a research study on health care coordination for individuals with physical disabilities. We are looking for people who are knowledgeable about disability issues and/or health care coordination to participate in the study. Participants will be asked to respond to three email surveys that will take about 15 minutes each to fill out. These surveys will be distributed to participants approximately 2-3 weeks apart from one another. The first survey will ask participants to provide their personal definition of health care coordination. In the second survey, participants will be given a summary of the operational definitions of health care coordination provided by all participants in the first survey. Participants will be asked to evaluate these definitions and to identify the specific elements of health care coordination that are most important for it to be effective for adults with physical disabilities. In the third survey, participants will receive a list of elements identified by participants as most important for effective health care coordination. They will be asked to rank the importance of each identified element.
