Disability Statistics
and Demographics

The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability Statistics and Demographics (StatsRRTC) aims to improve knowledge about and access to existing data, and generate the knowledge needed to improve future disability data collection and dissemination. It is our goal to foster evidence-based decision making by people with disabilities and their families, advocates, policymakers, program administrators, service providers, and researchers by making data widely available and accessible.

Individual-level
Characteristics

The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Individual-Level Characteristics Related to Employment Among Individuals with Disabilities (IC-RRTC) is generating new knowledge about the role of individual characteristics on employment outcomes. Despite the ADA and advances in medicine and technology, people with disabilities, as a group, have become economically less self-sufficient over the last few decades. Visit Center Website

Reducing Health Disparities among People with Intellectual Disabilities 

This new three year project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has an overall aim to examine and identify the key risk and protective factors associated with disparities between people with and without intellectual disabilities with respect to health outcomes and unmet health care needs.  Using valid and reliable secondary data from national surveys and administrative records, this project will estimate valid and reliable empirical models and test hypotheses about which risk and protective factors are most highly associated with health disparities between people with and without intellectual disabilities.
