PY - 2017 T2 - Obesity Medicine: Management of Obesity in Women's Health Care AB - Health care for people with disability is not commonly discussed in health education, particularly in medical education, despite the increasing prevalence of people with disability within the United States. Clinicians have reported discomfort in managing the health of people with disability,1 and people with disability often report negative experiences with their health care because of the practitioners’ lack of knowledge.2 There are clear health and health care disparities noted when comparing the care people with and without disability receive.3,4 This is especially true for women with disability.5,6,7 In general, disability is associated with obesity, and women with disability represent a large proportion of those with obesity and disability.
