I have a local hospital that will send you $25 for taking a short quiz about your spinal cord injury. It took me a half an hour to take it. All I had to do was answer a bunch of questions about my SCI. They are trying to collect 500 surveys and they need 250 more people that have a spinal cord injury. If you can use your hands they will mail it to you. If you can't use your hands they will do it over the phone.

I took the test and got my check one week later. They sent it to me really quick. Not bad money for doing something that only takes a half an hour to do.

If you want to make a quick $25 send her an e-mail or give her a phone call. It's easy.

Here is her contact info.

Survey of Individuals Aging with Disabilities


It may be surprising to you, but rehabilitation professionals don’t know much about the natural course of aging with physical disabilities such as late effects of polio (sometimes known as post-polio syndrome), muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. It is important to understand how aging impacts your life with a disability, and what to expect long term as a person with a physical disability ages. The most fundamental requirement for increasing our knowledge and developing effective treatments is the availability of reliable, sensitive, and meaningful ways of measuring things like pain, fatigue, mobility, communication, and their effects on day-to-day functioning.

As long as you are over the age of 18, you qualify for the study. If you decide to participate in this study, we will ask you to fill out two to four surveys over the course of four years, depending on your age. These surveys will ask you about your experience with pain, fatigue, sleep, participation in daily activities, your social support, and general mood and outlook. The surveys will also ask for some basic demographic information, such as your age, gender, and education. The surveys will take about one hour to complete, and you can take a break at any time. Because we mail them to you, you can do them in the comfort of your own home, and you can take breaks at any time. Once we receive your filled out response form, we will mail you a survey and a consent form with a postage paid return envelope. If special accommodations are necessary (doing the survey over the phone, for example), please indicate so on the response form or call us at (206) 221-5641 or toll-free at (866) 928-2114. Once we have received your completed survey, you will receive a check for $25 for your time and effort.

Participating in this research is completely voluntary. You may decide not to participate in this study, and you may withdraw from the study at any time. Your decision to withdraw will not affect your health care in any way. There are no penalties or loss of benefits if you choose not to take part in the study or if you decide to withdraw early.

I got the checked in the mill just last week. That was an easy 25 bucks. If you have a spinal cord injury I would recommend doing a survey. It's worth your time for the money they pay.
