3. Help us learn about living with a spinal cord injury!
Are you between the ages of 18-29 or over age 60? Have you lived with a spinal cord injury for at least 5 years? If so, we would like to invite you to participate in a study being conducted at the University of California, Irvine. The purpose of the study is to examine physical and emotional well-being among people with a spinal cord injury. We have already interviewed people between the ages of 30-59, but we need your help to make sure that all adult age groups are represented in the study. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete a series of over-the-phone interviews. You will be compensated $150.00 for completion of the study. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please call the emotion research laboratory at: (949) 824-3991 or email us at emotion@uci.edu. The deadline for this study is December 1, 2007.
4. Participants Needed for Study on Mothering With SCI
Are you a woman with SCI and have a child/children 12 or under?
Being a mother is an important role for many women, yet relatively little is known about mothering with a SCI, from the perspective of the mother. This study focuses on the experience of mothers with SCI and explores their participation in parental activities, satisfaction with this involvement and sense of well-being. In addition, the influence of social support and perceived health will be examined. Mothers actively parenting a child or children ages 12 and younger can participate in this study. Women will be mailed a set of four questionnaires, some background questions and a self-addressed stamped envelope. This should take approximately 45 minutes to complete (or she may be interviewed by phone). The confidentiality of all participants will be maintained. If interested in participating in this study or if you have questions, please contact Ruth Farber, PhD, OTR/L (Temple University, Department of Occupational Therapy) at msmoms@temple.edu or Michelle Sonabend, OTR/L 215-901-6175.
5. Fashionable Jeans Survey for Wheelchairs Users
I'm a graduate student in fashion merchandising at the Academy of Art University. I'm working on my thesis, which is creating fashionable jeans
for wheelchair users. I have done some research in the market, and am trying to develop a jeans product that is much more fashionable than that which is
out there now, while including comfortable aspects as well.
I've come up with a consumer survey to help me understand the needs of this market, and I'd appreciate any and all feedback I can get. Please contact me
at cynsheets@hotmail.com if you're interested in taking the survey. It takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes and is extremely important to the development
stage of this product. Thanks so much for your time.
6. Are you a woman having any degree of disabilities
caused by health problems?
If so, you have important
information that could greatly benefit other women with disabilities in similar
situations. This is a request for women with disabilities (aged 18 or older) who
are both employed and unemployed to participate in an on-line research project.
Need: Research on the online information seeking experiences of women with
disabilities is lacking. Investigating the antecedents and consequences of
seeking health information on the Internet will enhance our understanding about
how to more effectively provide disabled women with valuable health information
that helps them better manage their work and lives.
7. Are You a Woman
with a Spinal Cord Injury Who Has Been Injured for At Least One Year? 8. Spinal Cord Injury Volunteers are Needed for Pain Study
9.
Menopause Study for Women with Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this study is to understand how menopause is experienced by
women who have spinal cord injuries and whether it places them at higher
risk for certain health problems. Participants will undergo a 2 hour
session at the UM University Hospital. During this time you will provide a
blood and urine sample, be weighed and your blood pressure taken, fill out
a brief health history questionnaire, and undergo a bone scan.
Participants can earn up to $50 plus travel reimbursement and they will
receive the results from all tests.
We are recruiting women with spinal cord injury, men with spinal cord
injury and non-disabled women to be a part of this study.
You may be able to participate in this study if ...
• You do not smoke;
• You have no internal fixation devices.
And if you are a woman, if …
• You have had your final menstrual period within the last 5 years;
• You are not currently taking hormone replacement therapy.
And if you are a woman or man with a spinal cord injury, if …
• Your injury level is between C6 and T12;
• You use a manual or power wheelchair and are not ambulating;
• It has been at least 2 years since your injury;
• You were injured after you turned 18 years old.

If so, you have important information that could greatly benefit other women with spinal cord injuries in similar situations. This is a request for women with SCI (aged 18 or older) who are both employed and unemployed to participate in an on-line research project.
Need: Research on the return to work experiences of women with SCI is close to nonexistent. Increasing the understanding of what it is like to be a woman with a SCI who has either returned to work, attempted to return to work, or would like to return to work will offer very valuable insight into understanding the most effective approaches to helping women return to work.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain an increased understanding of the return to work experiences of women with SCI as well as issues or barriers associated with the ability or inability to return to work. Factors that influence quality of life and job satisfaction will also be investigated.
About the researcher: My name is Elizabeth Lasher and I am a doctoral student in the department of Counselor Education, Counseling Psychology, and Rehabilitation Education at The Pennsylvania State University. I have had a special interest in working with women with spinal cord injuries for a number of years. Before returning to school to pursue a doctoral degree, I worked as a rehabilitation counselor for ten years on a spinal cord injury unit at a rehabilitation hospital in Pittsburgh, PA.
