A Town Hall Meeting about Women’s Health and Disability – A University and Community Partnership

Mon, 08/31/2015 - 3:15pm

When: May 14, 2015 at the Downtown Library Multi-Purpose Room

A joint collaboration between the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living and the University of Michigan produced this study on Women's Health and Disability. Women with disabilities shared their personal experiences and point of view about their health and interacting with health care providers. Themes related to personal and societal stereotypes, the need to educate doctors about their disability, needing for more information to make decisions, and environmental barriers were reflected their experiences.

This research partnership was made possible through the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR); the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living and the University of Michigan.
