Request for Abstracts Announcement

Thematic issue on Disability and Health

Health Affairs plans to publish a thematic issue on the topic of
Disability and Health in October 2022. In connection with this issue, we
will issue a Request for Abstracts on November 22, 2021, with abstracts
due on December 20, 2021.

More than 30 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was
signed into law, people with disabilities continue to face inequities in
the health care system that lead to disparities in access to care,
health status, and outcomes.

The problem is not limited to inadequacies of the medical care
system--inequities in access to care and outcomes also arise from
disparities in access to education, employment, housing, and
transportation.

Addressing these barriers is critical to advancing health equity. Our
theme issue will aid in that effort by presenting empirical research,
reviews, analyses, commentaries, and perspectives addressing pressing
policy issues.

The Request for Abstracts has not yet opened. We invite you to
familiarize yourself with our Request for Abstract submission
requirements and guidelines

or contact us by email
if you
have questions. You will receive a separate email in a few weeks when
the abstract submission portal has opened, and we will welcome your
submissions at that time.
