Description

Persons with disabilities may face greater barriers to health care than persons without disabilities. We characterized adults with specific disability types (hearing, vision, cognition, mobility, self-care, and independent living), and disability-specific disparities in healthcare access. Healthcare access measures were health insurance coverage, usual healthcare provider, routine checkup within preceding 12 months, and no unmet healthcare need due to cost within preceding 12 months.
