Anchoring Health Research in the Community-Based Participatory Research Experiences of People Living with a Disability
Health promotion research for people living with a disability in the community is challenging due to common barriers related to the adoption and implementation of evidence-based programs, in addition to barriers related to access and utilization of technology.
The first half of this talk will focus on the participatory cocreation, implementation, and evaluation of a peer-based leisure-time physical activity program for adults with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury across Dr. Quilico’s PhD research at the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute and Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal.
The second half of this talk will focus on the qualitative and mixed methods work Dr. Quilico is currently involved with in technology-based health research (telehealth delivery, digital applications, and overground robotic exoskeletons) for people with mild and moderate-to-severe TBI, stroke, and spinal cord injury in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Baylor Scott & White Research Institute in Dallas, Texas.
The presentation will emphasize the value of participatory methods for identifying significant research gaps in the community, implementing evidence-based health behaviour programs, and optimizing large-scale technology-based trials across the continuum of care.
Dr. Quilico is a research scientist who specializes in qualitative and mixed methods at Baylor Scott & White Health, where he recently completed his postdoctoral fellowship in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He completed his PhD in the Rehabilitation Sciences Institute at the University of Toronto and Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal, where he co-created, implemented, and evaluated a community-based physical activity program for adults with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury that was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). He obtained an MA in Adapted Physical Activity from McGill University and a BEd in Education from Concordia University. Enrico has been working as an advocate for brain injury awareness and health since 2008, and was featured as a global hero in 2020, winner of the 2019 SSHRC Storyteller Competition, and 2018 Change-Maker Award by the Neurological Health Charities of Canada.
