Longitudinal impacts of a consumer-directed support program that provides families with an individualized budget were studied at three points in time over a 9-year period: Time 1 (1991), Time 2 (1995), and Time 3 (2000). At Time 3, families in the program were also compared with families on the waiting list. Over time, families in the program experienced decreased unmet service needs, higher service satisfaction, increased community participation of individuals with disabilities, and decreased caregiver burden. At Time 3 families in the program had fewer unmet needs and higher service satisfaction than did families on the waiting list; there were no differences in community participation and caregiver burden.
在9年时间里的三个时间点对一项为家庭提供个性化预算的消费者导向型支持项目的纵向影响进行了研究：时间1（1991年）、时间2（1995年）和时间3（2000年）。在时间3时，还将该项目中的家庭与候补名单上的家庭进行了比较。随着时间的推移，该项目中的家庭未满足的服务需求减少，服务满意度提高，残疾人士的社区参与度增加，照顾者负担减轻。在时间3时，该项目中的家庭比候补名单上的家庭有更少的未满足需求和更高的服务满意度；在社区参与和照顾者负担方面没有差异。
