    Open AccessMiriam Heyman, Frank Li et al.ARTICLEJournal of Disability Policy…2025Cited by: 1

This study uses the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, 2016–2020, to explore the prevalence and life circumstances of disabled parents in the United States. Findings indicate that there are roughly 65.9 million parents in …

    Open AccessAbigail Newby‐kew, Jonathan M Snowden et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Sexual and…2025References: 1

    Context Over 40% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Women with unintended pregnancies may be less likely to receive timely prenatal care and engage in healthy behaviors immediately before and during pregnancy. Limited research suggests that women with disabilities are more likely to have an unintended pregnancy, but to date no studies have assessed whether intendedness varies by extent of disability. Methods We analyzed 2019–2020…

The purpose of this study is to document the prevalence and consequences of IPV exposure among Ugandan women with disabilities.
