“…In a recent scoping review examining the quality of Canadian physical activity resources intended for adults with a physical disability, 89 information resources were identified. 22 The majority (88%) of these resources were created by nongovernment organizations. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association quality benchmarks of information on the internet (i.e., details of authorship, attribution, disclosure, and date), 23 the overall quality of resources was generally poor.…”

“…For example, only 32% of resources were tailored for a specific disability, while no resource provided suggestions for optimal timing to begin LTPA programs post-injury. 22 This review highlighted the concerning state of LTPA, sport, and active living resources available online for people with disabilities. Therefore, it is crucial that newly created informational resources are developed with high quality information to help promote community-based LTPA participation among adults with chronic SCI.…”

Evidence-based mobility programs and community-based LTPA do exist, and the available research shows their promise. Despite the growing research for LTPA and mobility programs among adults with SCI, many gaps remain. Additional partnerships, community engagement practices, service program funding and health policy changes are needed to address the highlighted gaps to optimize community-based programs and enhance the lives of adults with SCI.

“…These technical attributes were adapted from standards of critical evaluation for online resources originally published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) (Silberg, 1997), and since adapted by several reviews (Bonnar-Kidd, K., Black, D., Mattson, M., Coster, 2009;Jetha et al, 2011;Shaw et al, 2017). Three attributes utilized in this study were taken directly from the original JAMA standards (i.e.…”

This study examines the utility of online searches and technical quality of the resulting sites and materials when searching for information related to medical care for patients with disability. Systematic searches were conducted on two popular search engines using six search phrases. Resources were coded to categorize result information, presenting organization, and technical quality (attributes which allow for critical evaluation of source material). Only 8.9% of returned results included educational information about providing medical care for people with disability. Analyzed resources were most often from non-profit organizations (31.7%) in website format (60.2%). The composite technical quality score for all included resources had a median and mode of three on a scale of six technical attributes. This study provides a descriptive and technical assessment of the results from using popular search engines to locate information related to providing medical care for patients with disability. Less than 10% of the search results returned educational information, and many of these resources lacked technical information needed to allow viewers to critically evaluate the material. Sources within the first 100 search results of each search phrase and search engine pairing had a slightly higher inclusion rate at 15.6%, compared to an overall inclusion rate of 13.3%. Future work should investigate the quality and content of the information provided via online resources related to medical care for patients with disability, and potentially develop a collection of high-quality resources for health care professionals, patients, family members, and other professionals and organizations.

“…To be effective, the design of messages and messaging (i.e., promotion material) should be culturally responsive to the diverse ways of obtaining, processing, and understanding information (Natkunam et al, 2020;Ross & Ross, 2021). Yet, large-scale evaluations of PA and health-related digital messaging have revealed materials that are largely inaccessible for diverse populations due to unsuitable required reading grade levels , non-compliance with disability access standards for digital media, including issues with font style, content layout, and lack of alternative text for images (Shaw 2017;Visser et al, 2021;Disability Rights Commission, 2004), and poor or missing representation of persons with disabilities (Bruning et al 2020;Comella et al, 2019;Mitchell et al, 2019).…”

Exploring learning outcomes among undergraduate kinesiology students in response to an inclusive physical activity promotion message assignment

Numerous professional bodies and curricular models in kinesiology call for the development of undergraduates’ cultural competency. In short, a culturally competent professional (a) mitigates personal biases from adversely affecting others, and (b) is aware of how societal patterns marginalize people (e.g., unquestioned norms; Gill, 2007). The present study aimed to evaluate the extent to which undergraduate students demonstrated learning in response to completing an inclusive physical activity promotion message assignment, which included a focus on designing materials inclusive of people with disabilities. A scholarship of teaching and learning approach was adopted to critically evaluate and reflect on an assignment used in an undergraduate kinesiology course. This case study drew on artifacts from a convenience sample of 10 undergraduate students enrolled in an introduction to adapted physical activity course. A descriptive discourse analysis was conducted of students’ reflections about what they learned from the assignment. Student responses were appraised with Fink’s (2013) taxonomy of significant learning for evidence of learning across six domains: i.e., foundational knowledge, application, integration, human dimension, caring, and self-determination. Student responses were coded and verified. Consensus was reached on all discrepancies. Student reflections signaled learning across four domains: foundational knowledge (n = 9), application (n = 3), integration (n = 5), and human dimensions (n = 6). Developments in the caring or self-determination domains were not evident. The findings indicate potential for the assignment to enhance Kinesiology curricula. As teacher-researchers, we discuss the findings in relation to further development of the assignment to better promote cultural competency.
