Title:	Walking a fine line: How coping styles impact polio survivors asking for and receiving assistance from their family and friends
Author:	Baker, Hallie Elizabeth
Description:	After appearing to have been cured, polio is now making a new impact on the lives of its survivors. This new impact has been named Post Polio Syndrome and is causing new symptoms of fatigue and increasing disability in survivors of polio anywhere from 20 to 40 years after the initial infection. As a result, these survivors are now facing new challenges which impact not only them, but their family members as well. This study seeks to look at how the individuals with Post Polio Syndrome cope with both their past polio infection and the current experience with Post Polio Syndrome. Specifically the social network of helpers is examined in the context of the coping strategies utilized by polio survivors in the past.
