The Researched Opinions on Research: disabled people and disability research

Thirty-five disabled people with a range of physical, sensory and mental impairments were interviewed about (1) their experiences of research; (2) their general opinions concerning research; (3) whether they thought research had served/was serving disabled people well; (4) how research on disability should be conducted; (5) who should conduct research on disability; and, finally, (6) what they would like to be researched. In this paper, the results of aspects two to five are reported. It was found that the opinions of disabled people mirror quite strongly the recent arguments forwarded by disabled academics concerning the need for emancipatory and empowering research strategies. In particular, the respondents articulated a need for inclusive, action-based research strategies, where disabled people are involved as consultants and partners not just as research subjects, There were few arguments, however, for an exclusive approach, where disability research would be conducted solely by researchers who were themselves disabled

Malaria beliefs by age and prevalence.

<p>(A) The proportion of febrile illnesses reported as malaria by the age of the febrile individual. (B) The proportion of febrile illnesses reported as malaria by the village prevalence rate. Figure shows mean of the outcome within 1-year age groups (for children under 5) or 5-year age groups (for ages 5 and above) and 0.10 units of village prevalence. A local linear regression line is also plotted and the grey shaded areas indicate 95% confidence intervals. Sample is limited to individuals who had a fever in the two weeks prior to the survey and who were not previously tested for malaria. Ages above 60 are excluded because of small sample size.
