简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a systematic training approach targeting behaviors to increase safety and prevention of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 in the workplace for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This project is designed to determine proof of concept and proof of product for a peer support intervention, the SAFE program, to increase knowledge and safe workplace practices. There is an identified immediate need for individuals with IDD to receive training in an accessible format. The SAFE program has been developed in an accessible format for those with IDD. It focuses on education regarding actionable behaviors that reduce the risk of acquiring and transmitting COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. The study will implement a peer-mediated and occupational therapy lead program, SAFE, to identify and address potential implementation issues and further refine the program curriculum. Additionally, the efficacy of the program on perceived safety and well-being, observable preventative behaviors and self-advocacy will be examined.
详细描述
It is hypothesized that the SAFE program will have a positive effect on perceived well-being and knowledge of the actionable behaviors for the prevention of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. The program will have a larger effect on outcomes when provided using peer support compared to staff training. Individuals with IDD will demonstrate increased knowledge and safe behaviors after completing the SAFE program. Peer-interventionists will report perceived benefits and limitations of participating in training and providing peer-mediated travel training interventions to identify potential outcomes for future research.
The research intends to answer these questions:
Does participation in the SAFE program increase perceived safety and well-being in the workplace for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD)? Does participation in the SAFE program increase knowledge of actionable behaviors to prevent transmission of airborne diseases (i.e. COVID-19) in the workplace for people with IDD? When implemented through peer support, does the SAFE program have a larger increase in perceived well-being and knowledge of actionable behaviors to prevent transmission of airborne diseases (i.e. COVID-19) than when implemented through staff training and supports?
The research further intends to:
Develop health communication messages related to safe interactions and the prevention of COVID-19 and other infectious airborne diseases for autistic adults

入选标准
- •The researchers anticipate recruiting young adults 18years old and over with ASD or IDD who are currently employed or actively looking for employment to participate in the study. Participants will have a diagnosis of ASD or IDD. Participants will self-report their ASD or IDD diagnosis. Additionally, the community agencies have access to documentation that identifies their consumer's diagnoses. Based on this, the researchers will ask them to only provide information to those individuals who have a diagnosis of IDD. Potentially eligible participants with documented intellectual and developmental disabilities will be recruited through large vocational rehabilitation organizations (Community Integrated Services CIS and Project Search) that together serve over 1200 adults with IDD. Participants must be working a minimum of 10 hours a week outside the home and/or receive vocational rehabilitation services.
排除标准

Infectious Airborne Disease Knowledge and Preventative Behaviors Outcomes
时间窗: Pre Data (before intervention), Post1 (immediately following), Post2 (1 month after)
The Infectious Airborne Disease Knowledge and Prevention of Behavior Outcomes is an assessment to see the knowledge of infectious airborne disease preventative behaviors gained through the SAFE curriculum. The assessment is completed through true and false questions, multiple choice questions, open ended questions, and behavior observations. Score: 1 - 67. Higher scores mean better outcomes.
