Informing Policy Design

What the project is about:

With Sinneave’s support, we aim to inform policy design by building disability data analytics capacity in partnership with government ministries through three types of analyses:

1. Linked administrative data

2. Policy and program analysis

3. Survey and interview data

Research Topics:

1. Experiences accessing services and programs: data from persons with disabilities and their families living in Alberta.

  • Survey administered across Canada; Alberta specific data presented

  • Follow-up qualitative interviews with parents of children with disabilities.

2. Transitions from child-to-adult services: cross-ministry administrative data on the years following the transition from child and adult supports and policy considerations on the provision of Alberta Disability Assistance.

The findings are aimed to be mobilized to government and community partners.
