[Webcast 63] Multifaceted Interventions for Supporting Participation Among Adults with Disabilities

This webcast is co-sponsored by two NIDILRR-funded grants: the Center on KTDRR and the University of Kansas’ Research and Training Center on Independent Living project for Promoting Interventions for Community Living (RTC/PICL). The webcast presents the process and results of a Campbell Collaboration systematic review, Multifaceted Interventions for Improved Community Participation Among Adults with Disabilities. The systematic review is a product of the RTC/PICL [NIDILRR grant #90RT5043] and was supported with technical assistance (TA) from the Center on KTDRR [NIDILRR grant #90DP0077]. Previous research conducted in community settings among people with disabilities suggests multiple points of intervention, or facets, that could be addressed to achieve intended outcomes. This systematic review contributed to RTC/PICL’s research to identify multifaceted interventions that are effective in facilitating increased community participation for adults with disabilities. The review team, guided by a person-environment fit model, examined the effects of interventions that address two or more participant characteristics (e.g., social skills) and/or environmental characteristics (e.g., access to transportation) on community participation outcomes (e.g., employment) for adults with disabilities. Results inform researchers and policymakers about current gaps in the research knowledge base. Findings also may help health and social work practitioners to understand and apply multifaceted interventions that support adults with disabilities. Funding for the review: Two NIDILRR-funded grants supported this review. The University of Kansas Research and Training Center on Independent Living (RTC/IL) collaborates with consumers on productive research to further their independent living. The RTC/IL provided funding for Judith Gross and Amalia Monroe-Gulick, who developed and documented the search strategy, and contributed to the article reviews, data management, and analysis as well as consulted with a Scientist-Consumer Advisory Panel concerning defining characteristics of the review. The Center on KTDRR provides TA to NIDILRR grantees working on systematic reviews or research syntheses of their research. KTDRR supported the additional effort required to publish the review through the Campbell Collaboration‘s Disability Coordinating Group, including the work of team members Debbie Davidson-Gibbs, an AIR researcher who reviewed primary research articles, and consultant Chad Nye, data analysis. This webcast was developed in collaboration with the KTER Center’s Employment Research Outreach Team (EROT). KTER’s EROT consists of knowledge translation and research staff from NIDILRR-funded projects who work in disability and employment research. This team collaborates with KTER Center staff to identify the pressing needs of fellow NIDILRR grantees in the employment portfolio. The KTER’s EROT determined that it is important for NIDILRR grantees to measure project outcomes, demonstrate use of our work, and promote projects’ sustainability after our funding ends.
