More than thirty years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
was signed into law, people with disabilities continue to face
inequities in the health care system with respect to access and
outcomes. Disparities in education, employment, housing, and
transportation are also barriers to achieving health equity.

scholarly look at the relationship between disability and health. You
are invited to join us on Monday, October 3, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. -

The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in October is
"Personal Care Aides: Assessing Self Care Needs and Worker Shortages in
Rural Areas." Using 2013-17 data from the American Community Survey
and the Office of Management and Budget, the authors analyzed the need
for personal care aide (PCA) services among adults and the supply across
the US, and found the gap to be largest in the southern United States.

On October 20, please join coauthor Susan A. Chapman of the University
of California San Francisco for a detailed discussion of the paper's
data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor
Ellen Bayer will host.

Date: Thursday, October 20, 2022
Time: 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern
