This paper focuses on two trends in the field of disability and rehabilitation: (a) the desire to conserve resources and yet provide consumers with the highest quality assistive technologies that they find personally appealing and useful; and (b) the involvement of the consumers of rehabilitation services in key decisions regarding the products and services they receive. The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Technology Evaluation and Transfer (Buffalo, NY, USA) has endeavoured to accomplish both by employing a mixed methods approach to consumer-identified needs and preferences regarding several categories of assistive technology. The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods used in sufficient detail for replication by other researchers.
（a）在节约资源的同时，为消费者提供他们个人认为有吸引力且有用的最高质量辅助技术的愿望；以及（b）康复服务消费者参与有关他们所接受产品和服务的关键决策。美国纽约州布法罗市的技术评估与转移康复工程研究中心一直致力于通过采用混合方法来满足消费者对几类辅助技术所确定的需求和偏好，从而实现这两个目标。本文旨在详细描述所使用的方法，以便其他研究人员能够进行复制。
