Measuring access to information and technology: Environmental factors affecting persons with neurologic disorders

This is currently totally useless since there is no database of stroke protocols to provide information to stroke survivors.

Abstract: Study developed and tested a patient-reported measure of access to information and technology (AIT) for people with spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, or traumatic brain injury (TBI). A mixed-methods approach was used to develop items, refine them through cognitive interviews, and evaluate their psychometric??? properties. Item responses were evaluated with the Rasch rating scale model. Correlational and analysis-of-variance methods were used to evaluate construct validity. Community-dwelling individuals with a diagnosis of SCI, stroke, or TBI participated in cognitive interviews (12 persons), field testing of the items (305 persons), and validation testing of the final set of items (604 persons) to measure AIT for people with disabilities. A user-friendly multimedia touchscreen was used for self-administration of the items. A 23-item AIT measure demonstrated good evidence of internal consistency reliability, and content and construct validity. This new AIT measure will enable researchers and clinicians to determine to what extent environmental factors influence health outcomes and social participation in people with disabilities. The AIT measure could also provide disability advocates with more specific and detailed information about environmental factors to lobby for elimination of barriers.
