About the Indiana Disability and Health Project
The Indiana State Department of Health contracted with the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community to build a foundation of knowledge and stakeholder participation that could lead to improvements in health for people with disabilities.
Indiana Disability and Health Work Group
The Work Group meets a few times each year to listen and respond to information and data provided by organizations such as the Indiana State Department of Health, state health coalitions on chronic health issues (Obesity, Diabetes, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Disease), and other health oriented groups.
In addition to discussions on the health disparities faced by people with disabilities in
maintaining their health and prevention of chronic health conditions, Work Group members provide insights and recommendations to
address barriers and
obstacles in health promotion, prevention,
nutrition, and
physical activity.
