Disability Equity Collaborative (DEC)

DEC Whitepaper Cover
"The DEC Research workgroup conducted this study during the COVID-19 pandemic—making the work considerably more challenging,” said CBH faculty Dr. Megan Morris. “However, it also created an important opportunity to shine a bright light on the gaps in health care accessibility for people with disabilities." 

Key Findings:  Persons with disabilities experience significant disparities in the receipt of equitable health care. In order to address these disparities, rigorously designed, patient-centered outcomes research is needed. A diverse group of stakeholders identified 14 research priorities to advance research in this area. The top priorities include developing: 1) methods to collect patients’ disability status in the health care setting; 2) training for staff and providers on how to deliver accessible, appropriate, and culturally competent health care to PWD; and 3) methods for providing timely disability accommodations during all health care interactions.  Read paper>>
