Dear Steve Brown,
Re: Seeking the help of Institute on Disability Culture in locating
evaluation studies
We are working on a series of systematic reviews about personal
assistance for people with physical disabilities and people with
learning disabilities. As you may know, supportive interventions for
people with disabilities are given different names in different
countries. Whether called personal assistance, independent living,
homemaker services, or some other name, they all aim to normalise the
lives of people with disabilities.
For these reviews, we would like to retrieve *all* relevant evaluation
studies related to programs of this kind. While we have conducted
electronic searches for published literature, we recognize that these
searches are limited; there is no substitute for expertise.
Are you aware of any studies (published or unpublished, positive or
negative) that might be relevant to this project?
Do you work with people who might be able to identify additional
research in this area? Would you be willing to circulate this email
to them?
Do you know of any other people or organizations we should contact?
We greatly appreciate your time and thank you for any assistance you
might be able to provide.
Best wishes,
Jane Dennis, Evan Mayo-Wilson, and Paul Montgomery
This project is funded by the Swedish National Board of Health and
Welfare, Socialstyrelsen (http://www.socialstyrelsen.se/), and the
reviews are being conducted with the support of the Cochrane
Collaboration Developmental, Psychosocial and Learning Problems Group
