Brandeis University is doing a study to learn about the experiences of disabled people of color receiving home and community-based services (HCBS). We are interviewing both consumers of HCBS and providers of HCBS.
This study is made possible by the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy and the Community Living Equity Center at Brandeis University.
Disabled People of Color Receiving Home and Community-Based Services
We are interested in learning what services you receive, what services you need, and how culturally and linguistically appropriate the services are. Information from this study will be used to advise government agencies and providers.
- Are you a person with a disability who receives Medicaid home and community-based services?
- Are you a person of color?
- Are you 18 years of age or older?
- Do you live in the United States?
If you answered "yes" to each of the questions above, you may be eligible to participate. Participation includes 1 interview over the telephone or video-conference. The interview will last about 1–1½ hours. Participants will receive a $50 gift card for their time.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Miriam Heyman, Senior Research Associate at the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy, at hcbsaccess@brandeis.edu or at 781-736-8165.
Providers of Home and Community-Based Services to Disabled People of Color
Brandeis University is doing a study to learn about provider perspectives on disabled people of color receiving home and community-based services. We are interested in learning what services you provide, what services you think your clients need, and how culturally and linguistically appropriate the services are. Information from this study will be used to advise government agencies and providers.
- Do you provide Medicaid home and community-based services to disabled people of color?
- Are you 18 years of age or older?
- Do you live in the United States?
If you answered "yes" to each of the questions above, you may be eligible to participate. Participation includes 1 focus group over video-conference. If you are not available for the focus group, you will be asked to do an individual interview at a time that works for you. The focus group will last about 1–1½ hours. Participants will receive a $50 gift card for their time.
