Impairment and Disability Identity and Perceptions of Trust, Respect, and Fairness
August 5, 2024
Using our 2020-2021 Public Experience Research, Salinger, et al. explored how individuals with disabilities perceived procedural justice in healthcare settings in this article. The survey found that those with impairments or identify as having a disability often report lower levels of trust, communication, respect, and fairness in their interactions with healthcare providers. However, health care perceptions differed between groups defined by impairment status and disability identity. These findings suggest a need for healthcare systems to better capture disability identity in order to improve their healthcare experiences.
