Fact Sheets, Posters and Other Publications

Data Inventory on the Employment and Health of Kansans with Disabilities. This inventory of data was developed to assist researchers who use Medicaid and disability data.

The following resources present findings from the Measurement and Interdependence in Community Living (MICL) project. More detail on each project is also available here.

• Development of Tools to Identify and Measure Disability Population Segments - Fact Sheet | Poster
  This project focuses on the Medicaid Aged, Blind and Disabled population. These new tools will help researchers and policy analysts design programs, policies and resource allocations that better suit the unique needs of each segment.
  
  
• HCBS Waiver: Economic Utility and Related Health Outcomes - Fact Sheet | Poster
  Overall, people with disabilities continue to have unacceptably high rates of disease. This project creates an assessment model that state Medicaid programs can use to monitor the cost effectiveness and health outcomes of individuals with disabilities who are on a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver.

• Community Engagement Evaluation Project (Fact Sheet)
  This project uses a grassroots approach to make needed environmental changes that will increase access to health care for people with disabilities. The project is being carried out in Oregon, Kansas and Missouri.
  
  
• Measurement Systems of Person x Environment Interactions
  How do personal and environmental factors function either as barriers or facilitators to community participation of people with disabilities? This project further develops and refine a system of measurement for those factors. Participants are still being recruited to take a survey that will provide information for this measure.
