Representation key to better health equity for people with disabilities
Original: Representation, intersectional approach can boost health equity for people with disabilities
The American Public Health Association says health equity for people with disabilities improves when disabled people are represented in health leadership, research and policy, and when an intersectional approach addresses how disability overlaps with race, gender, income and other factors. The organisation argues that policies and health systems designed without disabled voices leave this population facing persistent gaps in access and outcomes.
Why now: Health advocates and policymakers are spotlighting disability inclusion as part of broader equity debates in public health.
