OHSU is looking at health care for people with disabilities who are from underserved racial or ethnic groups, focusing on people with physical, sensory and/or intellectual disabilities. They will study problems with getting health care, and look for ways to help solve these issues. This project will take three years to finish.
One part of this project is to conduct national focus groups to learn about problems people of color with disabilities have when trying to get the health care they need. They are conducting the first focus group here in Portland with African Americans, Asians, and Latinos with disabilities so they can share their experiences with accessing health care.
