Product Description:

We reviewed abstracts of currently-funded federal grants in the NIH RePORTER database to identify those that included interventions addressing racial or ethnic health disparities among adults. Qualifying abstracts were further reviewed for explicit mention of adults with disabilities as a target group for intervention efforts. Our search yielded a total of 2496 abstracts on the general topic of racial and ethnic health disparities. Of these, 517 described intervention efforts focused on adults. Only 3 of the intervention abstracts mentioned inclusion of people with disabilities as a subgroup of interest. In all other abstracts, when disability was mentioned it was as a negative health outcome. Similar reviews are underway of foundation-funded projects and interventions supported by state offices of multicultural health.
