Developing Content for the Food Environment Assessment Survey Tool (Feast)
Almost 1 in every 8 adults in the U.S. have a physical disability that impairs mobility. This participatory project aimed to identify and describe environmental and personal barriers to healthy eating among people with mobility impairments using a rigorous, structured mixed methodology. Community-dwelling adults with a self-reported mobility impairment ( N = 20, M = 40.4 years old, 60% female) participated in nominal group technique focus groups.…

Disability, Psychosocial, and Demographic Characteristics of Abused Women With Physical Disabilities
In a sample of 415 predominantly minority women with physical disabilities recruited from private and public specialty outpatient clinics, we examined experiences of physical, sexual, and disability-related abuse within the past year and its associations with demographic, disability, and psychosocial characteristics. Logistic regression analyses identified 27% of the variance and indicated that women with disabilities who were younger, more educa…
Stress and women with physical disabilities
The Meaning of Health for Women with Physical Disabilities
(1) defined physical health as a correlate of functional capacity; (2) noted the importance of a positive mental state; (3) recognized the effect of having or lacking social support; (4) described the role of health behaviors in health promotion, as adapted to their functional limitations; and (5) described problems with their medical practitioners' lack of knowledge. Barriers included certain disability characteristics, stress, inadequate social…
Self-esteem and women with disabilities
The Investigation of Abuse and Women With Disabilities
This article delineates issues that should be considered by investigators endeavoring to conduct empirically sound research on abuse and women with disabilities. These issues include (a) incorporating in the research design variables that assess increased vulnerability; (b) using literature-based definitions that distinguish emotional, physical, sexual, and disability-related abuse; (c) using population-based sampling methodologies; (d) securing …
The Americans With Disabilities Act and Medical Providers
This article discusses the impact of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) on health care providers in the last decade. Even though some ADA training has been provided for health care providers, more education will help to improve access to their offices, improve health care practices for their patients with disabilities, and be an incentive for the providers to help raise the consciousness of the rest of the community about the ADA
Abuse of Women With Disabilities
According to the National Study of Women With Physical Disabilities, the prevalence of abuse was not significantly different between women with and without disabilities. Women with physical disabilities, however, reported significantly longer durations of abuse. Unique vulnerabilities to abuse experienced by women with disabilities include social stereotypes of asexuality and passivity, lack of adaptive equipment, inaccessible home and community …
The Use of Personal Assistance Services by Persons With Spinal Cord Injury
Previous discussions of personal assistance have focused on census data and descriptions of service programs. The current study examines patterns of usage of personal assistance among a community-based sample of 284 persons with spinal cord injury and how these patterns relate to other aspects of their lives. Expected significant relationships were found among variables of who provides assistance, whether they are paid, and with whom participants…
Personal Assistance Services
The success of persons with severe physical disabilities in living independently in the community, engaging in self‐directed productive activities, and staying healthy depends, in part, on getting and maintaining adequate personal assistance with basic tasks such as getting out of bed and tending to personal hygiene. Although few policymakers would disagree with the contention that many people with disabilities need assistance with daily tasks, t…
Personal Assistance Services
Affordable, attainable, high-quality personal assistance services could enable millions of people with severe physical disabilities to lead productive and independent lives. Indeed, the degree to which these services are available and adequate in large part determines the potential of such persons to be employed and to be active participants in community life, regardless of the individual's inherent capability to achieve these goals. This article…
Self-Esteem in Second Life
We are developing and investigating the feasibility of a self-esteem enhancement intervention in Second Life for women with physical disabilities. We adapted the curriculum of a previously tested workshop intervention to include features unique to this environment. Results of the beta test were very positive. Everyone involved showed considerable enthusiasm for exploring the new world of SL. The group leaders were challenged to resolve technical …
