Health Care Disparities and Disability: Identifying and Addressing Modifiable Factors
For individuals with disabilities, health and functioning are affected not only by personal factors but also environmental variables, including accessibility of environment, policies and programs that are available, and knowledge and attitudes of healthcare providers and other significant individuals within their lives. This talk will focus on identifying those modifiable factors that impact healthcare disparities for this group and focus on what we – as individual providers and as a healthcare system – can begin to do to promote positive changes.
