  5. Procedures • Collect Usability/Suitability Data from 200 people with mobility impairments living in multifamily (4+) housing built since 1991 (Fair Housing Act Amended) • Identify individuals with usability and accessibility problems (in-home assessments) • Randomly assign individuals to treatment and evaluate for effects on usability and accessibility

  6. Project work to date: • Background research • Fair housing: policy and practice • New Governance • Accessibility and usability measures • Geography of home and disability • Consumer involvement framework • Usability survey development

  7. Questions for the Audience • Do the intervention and outcome measures have face validity from your perspective? • Suggestions for improving the study design or intervention? • How do you see the results of the study being potentially useful/valuable?
