There are many questions about ways to improve the health of people with intellectual disability.
By finding out from people with intellectual disability themselves about what they think the Centre should be researching, we will be able to make a list of the questions they think are the most important. These questions will form the research priorities of the Centre.
Our priority will be to co-design every aspect of the project. We will look for partners and collaborators from already established groups of lived experience researchers and individual researchers.
We plan to use a range of creative approaches to collecting and analysing the data we collect, including through art and social media. We will share what we find with other researchers in Australia.
We will make a list of priorities for health research in the Centre as identified by a team of researchers with and without intellectual disabilities working together.
Project team
The project leads are Mary-Ann O'Donovan and Patsie Frawley.
Also on the team are Gisselle Gallego and other researchers from the Centre for Disability Studies. Researchers from the University of Melbourne will act in a consultative role.
