Social Participation When Aging With an Early-Onset Neurological Disability: Protocol for Descriptive Qualitative Research.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDue to improvements in health care and rehabilitation, as well as better social conditions, individuals living with traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple sclerosis (MS), or spinal cord injury (SCI) are living longer. It is therefore necessary to ensure the presence of social and health services adapted to the realities and specific needs of these populations aging with disabilities. Social participation is a key determinant of active aging and health. However, there is limited evidence regarding the social participation of these aging populations. To support the development of more inclusive approaches promoting the health of older adults, it is essential to better understand the diversity of social participation experiences among individuals aging with neurological disabilities.
objectiveThis study aims to explore how social participation is experienced by individuals aging with TBI, MS, or SCI; document the barriers and facilitators to their social participation; and explore avenues for interventions supporting their social participation.
methodsThis descriptive qualitative research is part of a larger action research project conducted in partnership with individuals aging with disabilities, researchers, and community organizations providing services to these populations. Individuals 50 years or older living with TBI (n=8), MS (n=8), or SCI (n=8) will participate in a semistructured interview. The interviews will be transcribed verbatim, and the accuracy of the transcripts will be ensured through peer validation. Qualitative data will be analyzed using a mixed approach in alignment with the Framework methods. The use of the Human Development Model-Disability Creation Process (HDM-DCP) conceptual model will be used for deductive analysis. The coding tree will combine significant themes arising from the interviews' inductive part and the themes from the HDM-DCP. Also, 12.5% of the analysis will be tested for stringency (ie, double-blind and interrater reliability exercise).
resultsThis study will provide insights into the diversity of social participation experiences of these populations as well as the influence of individual characteristics and environmental resources on their social participation.
conclusionsThis project will lay the groundwork for the codevelopment of health promotion programs aimed at supporting the social participation of individuals aging with neurological disabilities. This study will also help to identify the resources and strengths that support social participation for these populations, as well as the systemic barriers that need to be addressed.
