Confronting Barriers to Equitable Care
Background . One in 5 people in the United States live with disability; however, the public health needs of this community have been largely overlooked. Although U.S. law mandates the availability of accessible medical exam equipment, people with mobility disabilities (PWMD) frequently encounter barriers that require self‐advocacy to receive basic primary care. Objective . The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the impact of healt…
Cancer Survivors’ Disability Experiences and Identities
Eliminating cancer-related disparities is a global public health priority. Approximately 40% of cancer survivors experience long-term effects of cancer which can lead to activity limitations and participation restrictions; yet discussions of disability are largely absent from clinical and research cancer health equity agendas. The purpose of this study was to explore how cancer survivors experience and make sense of the long-term disabling effect…

Consumer-informed mHealth tools hold great potential to leverage strengths in the disability community to address emotional and informational needs created by a lack of disability competence across the cancer care continuum

Long-term sustained partnerships between academic, disability, and clinical partners are needed to address the complex issues that perpetuate breast cancer screening disparities among women with disabilities
Recruiting and Retaining People With Disabilities for Qualitative Health Research
There are 56.7 million people with disabilities (PWD) living in the United States; yet, PWD are significantly underrepresented in health research. Even when researchers purposively seek to include PWD in studies, challenges emerge related to recruitment and retention, leading to inadequate representation and surface understandings of this population. This in turn contributes to the perpetuation of implicit and explicit health disparities that are…
Relationships between environmental factors and participation in adults with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and spinal cord injury
Using the ICF’s environmental factors framework to develop an item bank measuring built and natural environmental features affecting persons with disabilities
Conducting Accessible Research
People with disabilities are largely absent from mainstream health research. Exclusion of people with disabilities may be explicit, attributable to poorly justified exclusion criteria, or implicit, attributable to inaccessible study documents, interventions, or research measures. Meanwhile, people with disabilities experience poorer health, greater incidence of chronic conditions, and higher health care expenditure than people without disabilitie…
Environmental Barriers and Supports to Everyday Participation
What does participation mean? An insider perspective from people with disabilities
PURPOSE: Although participation is an important construct and valued goal, how it is conceptualized, defined and measured varies widely. This qualitative, multi-site study sought to gain an insider perspective from people with disabilities in grounding what participation means, how to characterize it, and the barriers and supports to participation. METHOD: Sixty-three people self-identifying with diverse disabilities participated in qualitative f…
Community-Based Participatory Research in Disability and Long-Term Care Policy
From 1997 to 2003, Illinois was spending approximately 80% of its long-term care budget on nursing homes and institutional care and was facing significant challenges to its long-term care delivery and the need to rebalance toward community-based supports for people with disabilities. A case-based program evaluation was done to analyze Moving Out of the Nursing Home to the Community, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) project. The Chi…
