Created Sick? Well, Not Exactly… Canadian Atheists Report Similar Levels of Impairment and Disability to the Religiously Affiliated
Religion/spirituality (R/S) is positively associated with a variety of health outcomes, although how R/S relates to the likelihood or severity of impairment or disability is understudied. Given the broad salutary effects of R/S, we tested if nonreligious groups (specifically atheists) were more likely to report impairment or were more likely to report greater disability. Using Canadian data (N ≥ 1,000) from the 2015 General Social Survey (Cycle 2…

Participants reported experiencing different types of discrimination to varying de…

This is especially problematic because individuals with disabilities face multiple barriers to receiving quality health care services, ranging from structural barriers (e.g., physical access to doctors' offices) to proce…
Attitudes of Persons With Physical Disabilities Toward Physician-Assisted Death: An Exploratory Assessment of the Vulnerability Argument
Physician-assisted death (PAD) has been a passionately debated topic among people with disabilities. Opponents of legalized PAD have argued that social discrimination has rendered persons with disabilities a “vulnerable population” who could be pressured to “choose” death even when not mentally competent to do so. However, the data from Oregon do not appear to support the idea that persons choosing PAD were doing so out of psychological or social…
