Looking for Volunteers!

For the last 5 years, our research group has followed 414 adults with spinal cord injury. This group of volunteers has filled out a survey for us every few years. If you recognize the picture, you may already be one of our very valued volunteers - thank you for your participation!

Now, we have new funding and we’re looking for a small number of new volunteers to join the survey. We’d like every voice to be heard and counted in our survey – and especially those from underrepresented or minority backgrounds.  For that reason, we are launching a new effort to enroll new individuals to our team of survey volunteers.  We are currently looking for individuals with a spinal cord injury who identify themselves as African American, Hispanic, Asian American or Native American.

What’s the skinny on the surveys?

  • 3 surveys over the next 5 years.
  • Pen and paper surveys mailed to your home.
  • About 45 minutes to fill out.
  • Questions ask about quality of life, resilience, coping, and symptoms you may experience, like pain or fatigue. We will also ask a set of questions about your health care.
  • We will send you a check for $25 for each survey you fill out and return to us.
