This policy brief is provided by the Ohio Disability & Health Program. Public health and health policy experts agree on the need to assess health disparities and healthcare inequities experienced by historically disadvantaged groups and subpopulations of interest. However, these assessments often fail to consider the significance of collecting data on members of historically disadvantaged groups and subpopulations with disabilities. This evidence-based policy brief discusses the need to collect disability data and identifiers, together with racial and ethnic data, based on the enormous health disparity amplifying phenomenon and double burden of disability on racial and ethnic minority status to improve the health of all people of color.
