Research
Welcome to RRTC Research. This section describes the research studies that have been (and are being) conducted by RRTC: Health & Wellness. Part of the mission of the RRTC is to conduct research that is scientifically based, participatory and applicable. In this section, we provide a conceptual overview of how the studies relate to each other and together provide a broad picture of health and wellness for persons with disabilities. Different studies address persons with disabilities directly, health care providers, or address policies that influence the opportunities for health and wellness for persons with long term disabilities.
