The health and well-being of people with disabilities rely on a number of factors, including access to health care, work opportunities, and social participation. People with disabilities tend to face special challenges in these areas. A better understanding of these challenges and their negative impact on well-being can help inform national and local efforts to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.

Please join the Center for Studying Disability Policy (CSDP) on Thursday, December 4, from 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m. ET at Mathematica's Washington, DC, office or via webinar. Lunch will be provided.

Our distinguished panel of speakers will discuss:

  • The extent to which adults with disabilities spend more time in health-related activities and less time in other activities compared with adults without disabilities
  • Reasons why some recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance live in poverty despite their receipt of benefits
  • Factors associated with the ability of workers with disabilities to obtain adequate and timely health care
