Pharmacy Daily | USYD Disability study

RESEARCHERS from the University of Sydney are currently calling for young people in Australia with congenital or acquired physical, sensory and chronic disabilities who are aged 19 to 26, to participate in a new study. Titled ‘Disability and Ability: How young people with impairments make the transition to adulthood,’ the study will follow the life experiences of 100 participants, and hopes to shed light on how the experiences of young Australians with a disability are shaped by discrimination. “We know that adolescence is a vital developmental phase in ablebodied people – a real make or break time in terms of what role a person will play in society or on its margins – so it is likely to be the optimal time for interventions in the lives of people with impairments,” said study head Dr Nikki Wedgwood.
