Adult Siblings of Individuals with Disabilities Research

Adult Siblings of Individuals with Disabilities Research

We know surprisingly little about the relationship between individuals with disabilities and their adult siblings.

To better understand this long-lasting relationship, we have created the "Adult Sibling Questionnaire" for anyone age 18 or over with a sister or brother with disabilities.

The Adult Sibling Questionnaire has questions in the following general areas:

· You

· Your Sibling with Disabilities

· Your Family

· Joint Activities and Involvement

· Support Needs of Brother/Sister

· Your Health and Well-Being

· Reflections on Your Relationship with your Brother/Sister

The questionnaire should take 20-25 minutes to complete, all answers are anonymous, and participation is voluntary.

A summary of the results of the questionnaire will be provided to those who request it. In addition, the findings will be presented at The Arc National Convention, October 12-14, 2006 in San Diego, and in The Arc's newsletter, InSight, and other publications and scientific journals.

If you are 18 years of age or older and have a brother or sister with disabilities, please participate!

The online version of the questionnaire is at https://kc.vanderbilt.edu/FamilyResearch

Paper copies are also available. Call or email your contact information (Name, Address, City, State, Zip) to:

Family Research phone: 1. [free] or email:FamilyResearch@...

We sincerely appreciate your time and interest in this important area of family research.

Thank You
