Multi-method Community Inquiry (R2 Part B): Surveys of Community Members was the second of a three-part study designed to enhance understanding of the complex interactions between the person and environment that are associated with healthy aging for individuals with long-term physical disabilities from low-income and minority communities and to identify best practices related to impactful policies, programs, and resources.
This study used cross-sectional surveys to identify environmental factors that support healthy aging among individuals with long-term physical disabilities from low-income and minority communities. The specific research questions in this project are:
- What kinds of systems, policies, and community programs do adults with physical disabilities use and how helpful do they perceive them to be?
- Does the use of these social recourses improve health outcomes?
- Do individuals from diverse backgrounds seem to benefit differently from the social resources available to them?
