will be doing a qualitative study meaning, in short, a study
based on in-depth interviews instead of numerical or survey
data with folks who are at least 35 years if age with CP.

I cannot formally recruit informants yet,since I do not yet
have IRB approval and they are very clear about that. But as
soon as I am able I will post specific recruitment info to
this list.

I am in Philadelphia, but do have approval to do a percentage
of the interviews by phone or e-mail or a combination thereof.
