Attention Katrina Survivors!
We want to hear stories from people who have a disability or who have diabetes who had an experience with Hurricane Katrina.
Are you someone or know someone who:
• Has a disability or has diabetes?
• Is 23 years of age or older and evacuated from southern Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina?
• Would be willing to participate in our research study and share their story about their lives before, during, and after the storm?
We are doing research to study the impact of Hurricane Katrina on people with disabilities or diabetes. We are collecting information on the barriers and disruptions they experienced in their lives, the strategies they used to reestablish their lives and their disaster-related needs as they recovered from Hurricane Katrina. Participants will be asked to spend from 30-90 minutes on the telephone or face-to-face answering survey questions and will receive financial compensation for their time. To sign up for this study or for more information call 1.866.578.4366. This project is in collaboration with the Center on Disability and Development at Texas A&M University and the ILRU Program at TIRR Memorial Hermann. And, the Co-Principal Investigators are Dr. Laura Stough with Texas A&M and Richard Petty with ILRU.
