Comprising survey and interview data from 180 participants in Phase 1 of the ACCESS study. It focuses on three distinct populations of adults aging with long-term disabilities: Deaf/hard of hearing, mobility impaired, and Blind/low vision individuals. The data explores daily challenges and solution strategies to inform supportive technology design.
Use Cases
- Analyze reported challenges and solution strategies across the three target disability groups to identify common support needs.
- Examine the distribution of activity challenges in home and community settings using structured interview data.
- Investigate response strategy patterns from questionnaire data to guide taxonomy development for supportive technologies.
- Compare self-reported data on everyday challenges between the Deaf/hard of hearing, mobility, and Blind/low vision cohorts.
Strengths
- Data from 180 participants across three distinct disability populations, with 60 individuals in each group.
- Mixed-methods design combining structured interviews and questionnaires to explore daily challenges and strategies.
- Focus on an understudied population: adults aged 60-79 aging with long-term disabilities acquired before age 50.
Limitations
- Convenience sample limits generalizability of findings to the broader population.
- Final sample of 180 excludes 4 enrolled participants due to non-completion or inability to reach, potentially introducing bias.
- Specific column names, data formats, and the presence of Likert-type scale details are not provided in the input.
