Summary View help for Summary
Multi-method Community Inquiry (R2 Part C): Survey of Disability Organizations, United States 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 component of the project used a national survey of disability organizations to identify best practices for promoting healthy aging with physical disabilities and the personal and environmental factors that mediate the effectiveness of community living outcomes among diverse communities. This survey incorporated insights gained from focus groups and key informant interviews in its design and questions.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The study will be integrated with Investigating Disability factors and promoting Environmental Access for Healthy Living Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (IDEAL RRTC) research findings to inform and guide the design and implementation of proposed research interventions. This study contains information that is relevant to health providers, community organizations, community health workers, policymakers, and members of the disability community and aims to further advance community, state and federal policies to reduce disparities and improve health aging for adults with physical disabilities.
Sample View help for Sample
For the sampling frame, researchers relied on a national database of organizations maintained by staff at the Investigating Disability factors and promoting Environmental Access for Healthy Living Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (IDEAL RRTC) at the University of Michigan. To create the database, IDEAL RRTC staff conduct regular internet searches for U.S.-based organizations that provide resources to those with disabilities. The total number of organizations in the database as of April 2022 was 3564. Of these organizations, 1917 were excluded from the sample because IDEAL RRTC staff were unable to identify a valid, unique email address for the organization. All of the other organizations were invited to participate in the survey, resulting in a final sample of 1647 organizations.
