| Statement of Purpose and Institute Overview: | |||
| The purpose of this Institute is to train CEI participants on a recently developed system to assess and to measure community receptivity and community participation for individuals with mobility impairments and limitations. Using a combination of power-point presentations, video training methods, actual hands-on instrument training techniques, small working groups, and a question & answer session, the Institute will describe the results of the three-year research project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The community receptivity assessment and measurement system includes five instruments, which have been pilot tested in several diverse communities. The first instrument is the Community Resource Index (CRI), an index describing important resources available in a community for people with mobility limitations. The second instrument is the Community Participation Receptivity Survey (CPRS), used to estimate a community’s receptivity as perceived by actual community members with mobility limitations. The next instrument is the Community Health Environment Checklist (CHEC) developed to assess the accessibility features at various built environments frequently visited by community members (local stores, restaurants, government offices, health care facilities, etc.). The final instruments are used to measure the perceptions of community members with mobility limitations (Community Perception Survey/General Population) and without mobility limitations (Community Perception Survey/Mobility Limitations). These multiple instruments will be explained in detail, and CEI participants will have the opportunity to complete them as part of the training institute. Additionally, presenters will discuss issues related to the development of the system, their experiences in implementing the instruments in various communities, and other related issues such as recruitment and administration. Finally, presenters will explore the multiple applications and implementation in areas, such as rehabilitation and therapy, independent living, public health, disability research, social work, and city planning. | |||
