The family experience of the Invictus Games through a work family conflict lens
The Invictus Games are an international adaptive sports competition for wounded, injured, and/or ill military members and veterans. Essential to the Games are the families and friends of the competitors, who are involved from selection to post‐game. Though families are integral, their experiences are underexplored. Little research to date has focused on the families, and even less research has been conducted using a family science lens. Work–fami…
Storying the inclusive playground experiences of families of disabled and non-disabled children
Understanding the experiences of parents of disabled and non-disabled children at playgrounds designed for disability inclusion
Disabled children and their families are often excluded from community play opportunities, including playgrounds. One potential solution is inclusive playgrounds. This study explores the experiences of parents of disabled and non-disabled children at playgrounds inspired by Principles of Universal Design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 parents (16 parents of disabled children) located across four Canadian cities with newly buil…
Examining the Impact of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games on Explicit Perceptions of Paralympians and Individuals with Disabilities
One of the goals of the Paralympic Games is to improve social attitudes toward individuals with physical disabilities (PD) through exposure to parasport and Paralympic mass media messaging. This study assessed whether this goal is achieved by examining changes in explicit perceptions toward Paralympians and individuals with PD over the course of the Rio 2016 Paralympics. Adults without PD (n = 119) were randomized into two groups: (1) an exposure…
Exploring Latino Promotores/a de Salud (Community Health Workers) knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Covid-19 vaccines
Promotoras/promotores (i.e., community health workers) are uniquely positioned to provide much needed COVID-19 education and outreach in Latino communities, particularly in areas with disparities in vaccination rates. This study used qualitative methods to explore promotoras perspectives on COVID-19 vaccines, with a focus on understanding how vaccine knowledge and viewpoints among Latino communities can formulate recommendations to improve uptake…
Participation of people living with disabilities in physical activity
Approximately 1·5 billion people worldwide live with a physical, mental, sensory, or intellectual disability, about 80% of which are in low-income and middle-income countries. This Series paper provides a global overview of the prevalence, benefits, and promotion policies for physical activity for people living with disabilities (PLWD). PLWD are 16-62% less likely to meet physical activity guidelines and are at higher risk of serious health probl…
Exploring how the process of quality participation unfolds for volunteers in community-based exercise programs for persons with disabilities
Within community-based exercise programs (CBEPs) for persons with disabilities, research suggests that the quality participation experiences of volunteers support the quality participation experiences of members. Yet, little is known about how quality participation unfolds over time for volunteers and how to foster positive experiences for these individuals. As such, we sought to explore how volunteers’ experiences of quality participation may fl…
Understanding quality participation
Individuals with disabilities do not experience full participation in society. Research suggests that a focus on quantity as opposed to quality of participation may be responsible for this disparity. The Quality Parasport Participation Framework was developed to fill this gap by highlighting the PA program conditions and elements indicative of quality experiences. The aim of the current study was to fill remaining knowledge gaps by (a) exploring …
