What does this Chartbook do?
This book does three important things:
- It displays the number and percent of adults with a
disability by state and territory. This book also breaks down
the numbers by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.
- This book presents information about the health of adults
with a disability and those who do not have a disability. In
many ways, people with a disability are less healthy than people
without a disability.
- Finally, this book shows some of the health issues that can
be addressed by people with disabilities, their families, public
health departments, and disability service programs. By
addressing these differences, people with disabilities can live
healthier lives.
