Using mixed methods and partnership to develop a program evaluation toolkit for organizations that provide physical activity programs for persons with disabilities.

Background: The purpose of this paper is to report on the process for developing an online RE-AIM evaluation toolkit in partnership with organizations that provide physical activity programming for persons with disabilities.

Methods: A community-university partnership was established and guided by an integrated knowledge translation approach. The four-step development process included: (1) identify, review, and select knowledge (literature review and two rounds of Delphi consensus-building), (2) adapt knowledge to local context (rating feasibility of outcomes and integration into online platform), (3) assess barriers and facilitators (think-aloud interviews), and (4) select, tailor, implement (collaborative dissemination plan).

Physical literacy and the participant perspective: Exploring the value of physical literacy according to individuals experiencing disability through composite narratives.

Background: Physical literacy (PL) is essential to the holistic human experience, emphasizing embodied capability and affording opportunities for inclusive engagement. Despite its recent use as a core programming element, PL from the experiential point of view of individuals experiencing disability has yet to be explored. Excluding these perspectives promotes a culture of ableism, one that devalues the embodied capabilities of those experiencing the world differently.

Research and Healthcare Priorities of Individuals Living with COPD.

This study describes the research and healthcare priorities of individuals living with COPD. On an online survey, individuals living with COPD assigned a percentage of funding to 22 research priorities and a percentage of time spent communicating with a healthcare provider to 24 healthcare priorities, indicating which topics were most important. For each research and healthcare priority, we examined the selection frequency of the priority and used chi-square analyses to examine differences in priority selection by quartiles of airflow obstruction (percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1-sec (FEV%predicted)) and breathlessness burden and exacerbation risk.
