Does disability always lead to poor health status?

You’re welcome.

Thanks a lot.

People with disabilities are not destined for a life of poor health status by their disability. Rather, it is the lack of institutional support for this underserved population that contributes to the poor health outcomes, a phenomenon seen among all historically underserved populations. Just as a stereotype about certain racial and ethnic groups by health care providers can negatively affect health outcomes and contribute to health disparities, negative attitudes toward and assumptions about disabilities have an adverse impact on the health and the quality of health care for people with disabilities.
