How does the health status of
people with disabilities compare with the health status of
people without disabilities?
Though limited, current data
indicate that health disparities between people with and without
disabilities are as pervasive as those recognized between ethnic minority
groups. While several sources of data are currently being
examined, the first compilation of data is available through Healthy People
2010, the U.S. strategic health plan.
HP2010 is at the
midcourse.
The midcourse
data have been released for public viewing through DATA2010
http://wonder.cdc.gov/data2010/
People with disabilities are included in nearly every HP2010
chapter.
