Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are looking for adults with physical disabilities to take part in an online study. The goal of this study is to better understand how ableism and disability discrimination may impact people’s mental health and wellbeing—and to learn what helps people cope with these experiences. The research team hopes to utilize findings from this study to help educate the public on ways to better support the disability community.
If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete an approximately 30-minute survey. Additionally, you’ll be asked to complete a 10-minute survey once a day for seven days. All study surveys take place online—no in-person visits are required. You will be compensated $25 for completing all the surveys.
