Objective
The purpose of this study is to test a set of surveys designed to determine if Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are person-centered. HCBS are services that help people with disabilities or older adults to live in the community and are paid for by Medicaid. Person-centered HCBS are based on what is important to the person receiving the services and are designed to help the recipient live the life they want to live. In order to determine if HCBS are person-centered, a set of surveys has been developed to measure the person-centeredness (or not) of HCBS. You will be helping to see if the surveys measure what they are intended to measure.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are a current or former recipient of HCBS
- Live in the United States
- Are 18 years old or older
- Speak and understand English
- Have access to the internet or a phone
