Be Part of the Largest Survey Ever on Canada’s SCI Community

There is still time to take the survey. It is true, the survey is long - but the information you share will truly make a difference. The more information researchers have about spinal cord injury will enable them to better understand the issues that people face. Please do not dismiss this request lightly.

As part of our continued effort to assist persons with spinal cord injuries achieve independence, self reliance and full community participation, the Canadian Paraplegic Association Ontario is pleased to be working in partnership with the Université Laval and the Rick Hansen Institute (RHI) on an exciting new survey.

Over the next 6-8 months, we are hoping to collect input from more than 3,000 Canadians with SCI in an effort to better understand whether your most critical needs are being met by existing health and social service programs.

We know that people with SCI are frequently asked to participate in research studies and that much is already known about your needs. So why should you participate? The answer is simple – the SCI Community Survey is the first study to examine whether or not those identified needs are actually being met by Canada’s health care and social services systems.

The information will help community organizations advocate on your behalf for better regional services as the survey will provide a Canada-wide snapshot of the services are available in each community.

What can you do to help? Take the survey. But don’t stop there. Help spread the word and encourage anyone with SCI in Canada over the age of 18 to take the survey as well. 

We hope that you will choose to voice your opinion and participate in this important survey.
