Summary

Persons with spinal cord injury (PwSCI) are at a greater risk for major health conditions and poorer health outcomes than persons without spinal cord injury (SCI). They often experience a great deal of health needs both on a physiological level as well as a psychosocial level. PwSCI frequently require supports and services to be able to live independently within the community. These services and supports are sometimes difficult to access within the community when the country is operating under regular capacity, in current times with the global COVID-19 pandemic, the challenges for obtaining and accessing supports and services will become much greater. The proposed project aims to identify the specific needs during this time of crisis and to provide referrals and resources to ameliorate those needs by surveying PwSCI in the St. Louis region. The project also hopes to determine if these persons experience isolation during shelter at home orders. PwSCI, who the investigators serve or have served in the past, will be contacted via phone or e-mail once a month for six months and asked to complete a questionnaire that will allow the investigators to track the participant's needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
