These resources offer valuable tools and methodologies for assessing and promoting community integration among individuals with disabilities. They include strategies for measuring consumer participation, utilizing GPS data for research on community mobility, and ensuring the inclusion of individuals with psychiatric disabilities in research through appropriate consent procedures.
GPS data can enhance research on community mobility for individuals with disabilities, but it requires thorough data cleaning. This program outlines the steps and generates variables including number of destinations, time spent, distance traveled, and activity space.
The Temple University Collaborative conducts research to promote inclusion of individuals with psychiatric disabilities. This document helps researchers develop consent procedures that demonstrate their competence to participate in research.
The use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) enables researchers to see the variation of destinations and distance traveled across individuals, as well as for each individual on different days.
Did you know it is possible to use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to measure community mobility and participation of individuals with psychiatric disabilities?
The use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) enables researchers to see the variation of destinations and distance traveled across individuals, as well as for each individual on different days.
Travel time can take up a lot of your day! GPS is a data collection tool that can be used to calculate the time individuals with serious mental illnesses spend in transit.
This paper presents strategies to measure consumer participation in community activities, offering an assessment of program achievements in promoting community inclusion. With separate instrumentation of community life, it provides a widely-used tool for program evaluation.
