Project Description:
The Partnering project involves three interrelated studies conducted over three years: 1) the Measurement Adaptation Study will adapt measures of violence and health to increase their understandability and accessibility to people with developmental disabilities; 2) the Disability, Violence, and Health Survey, which utilizes the adapted measures in a computerized survey of 400 people with developmental disabilities from both rural areas of Montana and urban settings in Oregon, will investigate the associations of disability characteristics and contextual factors on risk for violence and the health outcomes and impact of violence; 3) the Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Evaluation Study will examine the processes and outcomes of involving individuals with developmental disabilities in all phases of violence research.
