Project Description:
This study is intended to increase uptake and efficiency of COVID-19 testing in the school setting. In partnership with Washington University and the Kennedy Kreiger Institute, UMKC IHD investigators will provide principle leadership in the implementation, analysis, and dissemination of results from the cognitive mapping/focus group sessions conducted with the parents of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In addition, they will provide guidance and consultation on the cognitive mapping methodology to researchers from Washington University and Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI). UMKC IHD investigators will also provide input on the development of the questionnaire for assessing COVID-19 testing acceptability and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic among children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Lastly, UMKC IHD will participate in the dissemination of the survey throughout the network of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDS).
