RESEARCH ON HEALTH CARE AND PUBLIC POLICY
Access NH: Living with Disability in the Granite State
The Access New Hampshire: Living with Disability in the Granite State project is a joint research effort by a range of affiliated organizations and individuals concerned about the well-being of residents living with disabilities in New Hampshire. Its mission is to help legislators, state and local agencies, and the broader public understand the extent to which New Hampshire enables all its residents, particularly those living with some form of a disability, to live and participate in their communities. By highlighting key issues, education, health care, employment, and community supports, we hope not only to raise awareness about the barriers confronting individuals with disabilities, but also to initiate a statewide conversation about how to work together to address these challenges.
New England Genetics Collaborative (NEGC)
The New England Genetics Collaborative (NEGC) promotes and improves the health and social well-being of those with inherited conditions through collaborations among public and private health professionals, educators, consumers, and advocates.
New Hampshire Public Mental Health Consumer Survey Project
In fall of 2007 the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Behavioral Health contracted with the Institute on Disability (IOD) at the University of New Hampshire to conduct the New Hampshire Public Mental Health Consumer Survey Project. The project is part of a federally mandated annual survey of the nation’s Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC). With support by the project’s advisory board, the IOD and the UNH Survey Center conducted and analyzed findings for a consumer satisfaction survey of adults, youth, and family members of youth receiving services from New Hampshire’s 10 community mental health centers. Individuals were asked for feedback in a number of areas, including: general satisfaction with services, access to services, participation in treatment, quality of treatment received, cultural sensitivity, and outcomes.
NH Leadership Series
The NH Leadership Series offers courses for individuals with disabilities and their family members to enhance their ability to affect legal change, persuade schools and businesses to include individuals with disabilities, and educate communities about the importance of welcoming and including every member.
Real Choice Systems Transformation
Real Choice Systems Transformation focuses on transforming the community-based system to increase access to consumer-directed supports and services to enable older adults and adults with disabilities to live and participate fully in their communities and avoid institutional placement.
