Eliminating Inequities for Women with Disabilities
By:Shari E. Miles-Cohen,Caroline Signore
Published on 2016-06-01 by American Psychological Association (APA)

Over 20 million American women and girls have some form of disability, and this number will only increase in the years to come. At the same time, women with disabilities often have difficulty accessing health care services, and the quality of the health care they do receive is often worse than the care received by women without disabilities and by men with disabilities. The consequences of these disparities include increased prevalence of secondary complications, diminished quality of life, and even premature death. In this book, Miles-Cohen, Signore, and colleagues investigate the causes and consequences of these health care disparities. Representing various relevant disciplines, the authors offer action plans to improve wellness, health promotion, and disease prevention among this broad yet consistently underserved population. Using an integrated care framework as a foundation, the authors tackle the structural, environmental, and social barriers that prevent women with disabilities from accessing effective and culturally competent care and services. The many urgent issues discussed include psychosocial health, interpersonal violence, health care policy, health promotion, disease prevention programs, telehealth, reproductive and sexual health, and dental care.
