 Delaware Health Status Report for Persons With Disabilities
The report is part of the Healthy Delawareans with Disabilities 2010
Project. The researchers sought to review the health and well-being of
the states population of people with disabilities and compare their
status with that of the general population to assess health and
well-being disparities. Between May and December 2006, the researchers
surveyed 339 people living in both community and in institutional
settings. The participants were selected from service enrollment lists,
referrals, and community outreach organizations.
The participants had a variety of physical, sensory, and cognitive
disabilities. About one-third had a physical disability, and about a
quarter had cognitive and learning disabilities. About 20% had visual
impairments and nearly 11% had a hearing impairment. About nine percent
had a mental health condition.
