Study finds Racial & Ethnic Disparities in Health of People w/ Disabilities

The October 3 edition of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report highlights findings on the health of people with disabilities. This study found that among adults with a disability, Black, Hispanic & Native Americans report fair or poor health at disproportionately higher rates compared with White & Asian Americans. The report is available at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5739a1.htm?s_cid=mm5739a1_e
