Patient-Centered Research Data presented at American Physical Therapy Association

Pat Kitzman and Katy Sutton attended APTA’s annual Combined Sections Meeting and presented the poster entitled “The Road Back Home: Pe​rceived Health and Healthcare Needs of People with Neurological Conditions Transitioning Back to Rural Communities” in New Orleans on February 22.

In this study, participants have given their time in interviews, work groups, half-day meetings and Zoom video conferencing. They have shared what their health information sources are and what their own health research priorities are. Participants are continuing with projects that address some of the research questions that they identified. The findings from this two-year project also will be presented at the annual conference of the American Occupational Therapy Association.

This poster won a blue ribbon from the Global Health Special Interest Group in the area of Social Responsibility. Only 2% of the meeting’s posters received this recognition.
