People with disabilities are more likely to experience chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease as compared to people without disabilities. There is a clear need for public health efforts to reduce health disparities among people with disabilities. The Including People with Disabilities: Public Health Workforce Competencies were created for the public health workforce to provide basic knowledge on the relationship between disability and public health programs, and increase the capacity of public health practitioners to include people with disabilities in their public health efforts. The presentation will provide an overview of the Competencies and examples for implementation from AUCD. The Arc HealthMeet team will also present on how the material has been adapted to educate public health professionals about adults with ID and how to include them in planning and health promotion.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0APresenters: =0D=0A=0D=0AAdriane K.
