Methodology

Voya Cares®, in collaboration with Easterseals, commissioned Edge Research to conduct a national survey among disabled Veterans (n=728) and nondisabled Veterans (n=301), caregivers of disabled Veterans (n=305), and employers (N=511). Edge Research fielded the survey from December 2023 to January 2024. To learn more about these audiences, 24 qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted virtually in January and February 2024. Interviews included eight representatives from each audience, including Veterans with disabilities, caregivers who provide at least 10 hours of care per week, and employers with at least 250 employees and that employ five or more Veterans with disabilities, at least some of whom were hired within the last 5 years.
