Disability Series
Comprehensive Information about Disabilities and Related Subjects
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one in four adults in the United States has some type of disability and that this disability disproportionately impacts women (1 in 4), adults who are age 65 or older (2 in 5), and Non-Latin American Indians/Alaska Natives (2 in 5). Adult Americans with a disability are more likely to smoke and have obesity, heart disease, and diabetes, yet 1 in 3 faces significant healthcare access barriers and reports unmet healthcare needs. Despite the prevalence of disability, many Americans remain unaware of the basic facts about disability and the progress being made in the field.
At the request of librarians serving the one in four Americans who live with a disability and those seeking the information needed to understand, navigate, and manage a disability, the Disability Series was developed as a specially focused set of volumes within Omnigraphic’s Health Reference Series. Each volume deals comprehensively with a topic selected according to the needs and interests of these patrons. The volumes provide the authoritative health information that librarians rely on to arm consumers with the facts they need to take control of their well-being and address and inform themselves about health challenges that they or a family member or loved one are facing. Patrons seeking this information will find answers to their questions in the Disability Series.
