Testing a program to support adults with lifelong care needs
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a “Transitional and Lifelong Care” program for adults who had a disability since childhood, and includes their main caregiver or support person. It aims to see how this type of care support may improve experiences and support over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (the adult) must be over age 21 and have a disability that started in childhood.
- You must live in Ontario continuously from 2015 to 2020 so the researchers can use existing health records.
- You need a primary caregiver or support person to join the study (someone who helps with your care).
- If you handle your own care, a spouse or family member can take part as the caregiver/support person.
- Your health should not be in a current period of worsening related to a progressive (slowly worsening over time) condition.
