Earlier this week we had a post that I had removed about a work survey and people with disibilities and cronic illness. We pulled the post because we did not know what it was or the purpose. It was pulled to protect our posters to the BB.
They were kind enough to send us a synopsis of the study and I have copied the response. They have asked permission and Doc Nancy said it was a worthwhile effort. Lets please see if we can help them out. They posted on a few BB sites. So please let them know that you are calling from the NGDF BB.
Thank you for letting us know that you did not want to post our message
about the WorkSurvey Project without further information. We
understand your concern for protecting those on your list. The
information which follows explains the nature of the study, who we are,
and what we hope to accomplish. We are hopeful that this information
will allay your concerns and that you will consider posting our request
for participants.The WorkSurvey Project is a study examining the quality of social
interactions between disabled and / or chronically ill employees and
their non-disabled counterparts. This is an ex post facto design, and
uses a variety of statistical and qualitative measures to illuminate
critical issues in the social integration and accommodation of the
disabled / chronically ill in the workplace. The study is being
conducted through the Department of Psychology at the University of
California at Riverside under the advisement of Dr. Barbara Tinsley, a
health psychologist. Please note that this study is in compliance with
federally mandated requirements for ethical treatment of human
participants and has been approved by the University’s Internal Review
Board (UCR HRSC Protocol #98-079). All participants will remain
completely anonymous, and all participants are presented with an
informed consent statement prior to participating in this study. The
goals of this study are to increase a rather small base of scientific
literature on the social impact of disability and chronic illness in
the workplace, and to provide recommendations to business on ways
improving social integration between disabled and non-disabled
employees.We strongly hope that you will post our information, as we are trying
to get participants who are employed in a variety of industries and who
have a wide cross section of disabilities and / or illnesses. In
compliance with the ADA (1990), we have made the survey available in
three different ways to accommodate as many people as possible. It is
available on the Web at http://www.worksurvey.com, by calling our toll-free
number at 1-800-328-5160, or by e-mailing a request for the survey to
worksurvey@yahoo.com.Thank you for any support you can offer. If you have any further
questions please contact the primary researcher, Zeno Franco, at
zfranco@citrus.ucr.edu or by calling the number listed below. Or you
may direct inquiries to the Faculty Advisor, Dr. Barbara Tinsley, at

Tamara Hattis
