Consent, Eligibility & Mode – Access and Attitudes towards Health Care by People with Disabilities
The Southwest ADA Center is carrying out research into the existing barriers to health care access by people with disabilities. As part of this research, we are asking adults (18+) with disabilities about their access and attitudes towards health care.
The information gathered from this survey will help us 1) understand the significant barriers to health care accessibility 2) explore how the socioeconomic status of the community influences health care access, and 3) determine how inaccessibility impacts attitudes and behaviour with respect to health care. These findings will also improve the trainings and technical assistance that the Southwest ADA Center can provide on this topic.
Whether you are able to access healthcare or not, we would like to hear from you. After the first question which confirms your eligibility for this survey, you can skip any question you prefer not to answer. The questionnaire will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
This research study involves no foreseeable risk as no personal information will be collected. There is no cost and you will not be paid to take part in this study.
