Our MDisability members are generating research that is having an impact on the access and inclusion of people with disabilities in primary care and other health care settings.
MDisability members are also highly engaged with our summer interns, both current and former, to help them utilize their internship training in real world settings and to pave a way for them to conduct research that gets published in high impact research journals.
Examples of some of MDisability’s research projects include:
Improving online health information accessibility for those with sensory disabilities
Examining the risk of dementia and other health conditions among those with spinal cord injuries and Deaf individuals
Reducing the risk of polypharmacy among those with intellectual and developmental disabilities in primary care
Exploring new ways to conduct cervical cancer screening for those with disabilities
Analyzing the impact of electronic health records linked to disability fields on perinatal health accessibility and care quality
Tackling reproductive disparities among youth and young adults with disabilities
