Interventions

  • eLearning module — OTHER
    * 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 — OTHER
    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.

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: eLearning module
    Participants (n=100) will view one interactive 30-minute module aimed at increasing KAP of including PWDs in research.
  • Other: Control
    Participants (n=100) will view two 15-min modules (total\~30 mins) one focusing on disability data sources and the other on the medical/social model of disability. Participants will retake the KAP survey again immediately after completing the 2 modules.

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Attitudes Towards Disability Scale [ Time Frame: Pre-intervention at baseline and 3-4 weeks post intervention ]
