Development of inclusive quantitative survey instruments in youth research: the example of friendships and peer-relationships among young people with disabilities

德语区的青年研究缺乏对青年的包容性视角：缺乏对残疾青年的系统实证研究；关于合适的调查方法也没有实质性的讨论。特别是大规模的定量青年研究通常不涉及残疾青年；或者在主要针对一般人群的样本中无法确定这一群体。此外，青年研究手册忽视了与残疾青年有关的关键议题的讨论。政府融合报告或联合国残疾人权利公约等官方来源强调缺乏包容性研究战略，需要关于残疾人的差异化研究数据。在社会科学领域，相关青年研究中数据收集的适当方法也缺失。探索对（年轻）残疾人进行定量调查的可能性的方法学研究领域，其目的是检验和发展方法，目前还不发达。在一个具体研究问题的基础上，该研究项目致力于开发在残疾青年中管理调查的定量工具。其目的是制定适合各类残疾的数据收集战略和工具。研究方法的选择需要考虑与感官或身体残疾、智力残疾或学习困难、精神健康或情感残疾、语言障碍或多重残疾等相关的特殊需要的可能多样性。包容性研究策略避免在方法障碍的基础上系统地排除残疾青年的研究设计。这项研究的组织方式如下：-抽样设计和探索可能的访问途径-开发与数据收集模式和不同类型的年轻人残疾相对应的调查工具-调查工具的经验检验（关于设计问卷的一般标准以及不同数据收集模式的比较）-开发多维工具和传播调查结果。

Youth research in the German-language area lacks inclusive perspectives on young people: there is no systematic empirical research on young people with disabilities; and there is no substantiated discussion about appropriate survey methods. Especially large-scale quantitative youth studies usually do not address young people with disabilities; or this group cannot be identified within samples mainly targeting the general population. Furthermore, youth research handbooks neglect the discussion of key-topics with regard to young people with disabilities. Official sources like governmental integration reports or the UN-Convention of the Rights Persons with Disabilities emphasise the lack of inclusive research strategies and the need for differentiated research data about disabled people. Also in the social sciences appropriate methods of data collection in related youth research are missing. The area of methodological studies exploring the possibilities of quantitative surveys of (young) people with disabilities with the aim of testing and developing methods is underdeveloped. On the basis of a specific research question the research project is dedicated to the development of quantitative instruments for administering surveys among young people with disabilities. The aim is the development of strategies and instruments of data collection that are appropriate for the various types of disability. The choice of research methods needs to consider the possible diversity of special needs associated with, for instance, sensory or physical disability, intellectual disabilities or learning difficulties, mental health or emotional disabilities, speech impediments, or multiple disabilities. Inclusive research strategies avoid research designs that systematically exclude young people with disabilities on the basis of methodical barriers. The study is organised in the following way: - Sample design and exploration of possible access paths - Development of survey instruments corresponding to modes of data collection and to various types of disabilities of young people - Empirical testing of survey instruments (with regard to general criteria of designing questionnaires as well as the comparison of different modes of data collection) - Development of multi-dimensional instruments and dissemination of findings.
