Autism Research Funding Allocation: Can Economics Tell Us If We Have Got It Right? / Jennifer D. ZWICKER in Autism Research, 7-6 (December 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 7-6 (December 2014) . - p.704-711 Titre : Autism Research Funding Allocation: Can Economics Tell Us If We Have Got It Right? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jennifer D. ZWICKER, Auteur ; J. C. Herbert EMERY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.704-711 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  research funding  economic evaluation  funding allocation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a concern that the allocation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research funding may be misallocating resources, overemphasizing basic science at the expense of translational and clinical research. Anthony Bailey has proposed that an economic evaluation of autism research funding allocations could be beneficial for funding agencies by identifying under- or overfunded areas of research. In response to Bailey, we illustrate why economics cannot provide an objective, technical solution for identifying the “best” allocation of research resources. Economic evaluation has its greatest power as a late-stage research tool for interventions with identified objectives, outcomes, and data. This is not the case for evaluating whether research areas are over- or underfunded. Without an understanding of how research funding influences the likelihood and value of a discovery, or without a statement of the societal objectives for ASD research and level of risk aversion, economic analysis cannot provide a useful normative evaluation of ASD research.

Employment, Education, and Income for Canadians with Developmental Disability: Analysis from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability / Craig W. M. SCOTT ; Jennifer D. ZWICKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-2 (February 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-2 (February 2023) . - p.580-592 Titre : Employment, Education, and Income for Canadians with Developmental Disability: Analysis from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Craig W. M. SCOTT, Auteur ; Jennifer D. ZWICKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.580-592 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study assessed needs and outcomes for people with developmental disability (DD) to understand the socioeconomic status of this group prior to implementation of the Accessible Canada Act in June 2019. The 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) was used to analyze data for a sample of individuals with self-reported disability. Data related to employment, education, income, housing, caregivers, and use of government benefits is reported. Compared to the general Canadian public, persons with DD are less likely to: finish high-school or post-secondary education; participate in the labor force or be employed; and earn on average less/year in total income. To align with recent accessibility legislation, significant progress is needed to address disparities for people with DD.
