Abstract
The National Institute of Health, through its National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, recently designated people with disabilities as a population with health disparities (https://bit.ly/48AsXdh). This designation applies to groups who “experience significant disparities in their rates of illness, morbidity, mortality, and survival, driven by social disadvantage, compared to the health status of the general population.” It also allows the NIMHD to support research specific to the health issues and unmet healthcare needs of specific demographics. Other NIH‐designated populations with health disparities include (1) racial and ethnic minority groups, (2) people with lower socioeconomic status, (3) underserved rural communities, and (4) sexual and gender minorities.
