Summary

This study looked at two community-based wellness programs for adults with disabilities like spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury. Researchers measured changes in health, mood, quality of life, and healthcare costs over up to 24 months. The goal was to see if these programs help people live better while reducing medical expenses.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that community wellness programs improve health and reduce costs for people with disabilities.
What could go wrong

Who is studied

Participants are those individuals with disabilities who are eligible for Community Partners or Community LIFE programs. Individuals who enrolled in Community Partner program vary in age, as young as 7 years old. We want to be sure to include all age groups in our studies. Community LIFE serves individuals aged 55 and older. Participants in this research study will be restricted those who are 55-64 years old to address the research gap in this age group. Little research has been conducted on younger (i.e. age 55-64) individuals enrolled in PACE models of care. Also the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of this model of care on this specific subset of the population.
