Data collected included demographic and injury-related characteristics, types and frequency of leisure-time activities, social context, and perceived participation barriers.

Participants engaged in a median of three different leisure-time activities over the past year. In the previous four weeks, 19% reported participating in leisure activities less than once per week. Participation in non-social and social activities less than once per week was reported by 44 and 37%, respectively. Lower participation was more common among persons with shorter educational attainment and reduced mobility at 100 meters. Most activities were self-organized or provided by commercial providers. The most commonly reported barriers were physical limitations, time constraints, and activity suitability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participation in leisure-time activities among people with SCI varies widely.
