Product Description:

The COVID-19 pandemic forced patients to start using or increase their use of telehealth. We conducted a survey to explore the use of and experiences with healthcare by people with disabilities and their caregivers during the pandemic. Disabled individuals and their caregivers were more likely to delay or cancel appointments than non-disabled individuals, among other differences. The results demonstrate that individuals with disabilities were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
