Below is wording we request you use when circulating our posters, fliers, and other materials for this recruitment effort. Please also include the note with this wording. Thank you!
The Lurie Institute for Disability Policy is seeking people of color with disabilities who self-direct their services to participate in a research study on self-direction experiences.
The Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University is conducting a research study on the self-direction of Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). Self-directing means that the person who needs services decides how and when their services and supports will be provided and who will provide them.
Are you a person of color with a disability who hires your own PCAs or other services and support workers? Do you feel like you have choice and control over your services and that you manage or oversee how your services are provided?
Interviews for this study last between 1 and 1.5 hours. During that time, you would discuss your experiences with self-direction. You must be 18 years old or above to participate.
To learn more about the study and how to participate, please visit the study website. You may also email Jennifer Lee-Rambharose at sdequity@brandeis.edu.
This Lurie Institute research study is funded by National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).
