Online Learning Module to Advance Research Related to People With Disabilities
Sponsor: Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Summary
This study will measure the effects of a brief one-time eLearning intervention on researcher Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions (KAP) of including people with disabilities (PWDs) in biomedical \& behavioral research. Researchers will be recruited from across the Einstein/Montefiore network, and other medical centers with a focus on CTSAs.

Interventions
eLearning module
* Baseline pre-survey (15 minutes) * Baseline learning module (30 minutes) * Baseline post-survey (10 minutes) * Follow-up survey (3-4 weeks later) Components of KAP survey: Demographics-research experience/role, disability status, exposure to PWDs, etc. (baseline pre-survey only; e.g. not asked at post follow-up survey) Knowledge-short-answer, clinical scenarios, items focused on historical/legislative context, etc. Attitudes-validated "Attitudes to Disability Scale" (ADS) developed by a World Health Organization (WHO) working group Perceptions-questions developed by Prosci's Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement (ADKAR) framework.
Control
Disability Statistics Training (University of New Hampshire Link). Modules identify disability data sources via US surveys and measurement hurdles in disability research: A) Module 2/Topic 1 (13m:44s): Operationalization of Disability in Surveys- covers the two common operationalization methods, the 6 Question Sequence (6QS) and the Washington Group Short Set (WGSS), and the challenges of collecting disability data B) Module 3/Topic 1 (13m:48s): Disablement Models- conceptually defines models, such as Nagi's Disablement Model, Work Disability, Verbrugge and Jette, and WHO's Definition.
