Development and evaluation of a toolkit to improve medication self-management for persons with spinal cord injury (OPTIMAL-SCI)
Researchers at the University of Toronto are seeking to improve medication self-management for persons with spinal cord injury by co-developing a toolkit.
Who is eligible?
- Persons with spinal cord injury (3+ months post-injury)
- Caregivers for persons with spinal cord injury
- Healthcare providers or individuals from community organizations
We are conducting a concept mapping study, which involves three steps: brainstorming, sorting and rating, and mapping. Participants will be able to take part in one or all of the phases (all steps will be conducted virtually). Through these sessions, we will brainstorm ideas around the content and delivery to help with the development of the toolkit. All participants will receive a gift card for each step they take part in. Individuals who participate in all three steps of concept mapping will be entered in a draw to win a $200 Amazon gift card.
