Our research team from the Disability Studies Program, The D Center, and the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine are recruiting UW students, staff, and faculty who have a disability, physical or mental health condition, a chronic illness, or are d/Deaf to contribute to a research project on disability, equity, and inclusion on the UW campus (IRB # STUDY00009838). This study is being funded by CLIME (Center for Leadership and Innovation in Medical Education).
Research participants will take part in a single, 60-90-minute virtual focus group to share their experiences of ableism or discrimination as well as allyship and community in academic and healthcare situations. Information from the focus groups will be used to develop a disability allyship training curriculum that is rooted in lived experiences and can be implemented in the education and training of healthcare professionals and others across UW to improve our inclusive campus culture. All research information will be de-identified, and each participant will be compensated with a $30 electronic gift card for their time and expertise.
Please find a recruitment letter and recruitment flyer attached to disseminate widely. Learn more by visiting our website: https://uwdisabilityequity.washington.edu/. For questions or to express interest in the study, please contact the research team at uwdisabilityequity@uw.edu.
