Addressing the Housing Needs of People with Spinal Cord Injury / Dysfunction
Researchers at Sunnybrook St. John’s Rehab are looking to create an evidence-based informational tool-kit to help those with spinal cord injury make decisions about finding or modifying a home.
Funding for this study is provided by the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation
WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY / DYSFUNCTION (SCI-D), FAMILY MEMBERS & PROFESSIONALS TO TAKE PART IN A STUDY EXPLORING HOUSING NEEDS.
This qualitative study is asking members of the SCI/D community to take part in a 1 hour interview or focus group to discuss:
Acquiring housing post-SCI/D;
Challenges being experienced with housing;
Strategies & solutions to optimize housing.
This project is part of a larger initiative to develop a Tool-Kit to help people with SCI/D optimize their housing.
Who is eligible to participate:
