The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed societal life. People with disabilities have been particularly impacted both directly via health risks, and indirectly due to service disruptions and preventative measures (e.g., stay-at-home orders). Additionally, many people with disabilities are immunocompromised and are at a greater risk of serious complications and death due to infection from COVID-19. When it comes to planning, meeting accommodation needs, and accessibility issues, people with disabilities are at a disproportionately high risk during times of crisis compared to those without. University of Montana's COVID-19 research provides timely answers to this evolving crisis, using both national and individual-level data to understand how COVID-19 is impacting rural and urban people. It has explored adherence to recommended prevention practices, factors related to vaccine hesitancy, county level risk factors, economic and health impacts, and strategies for effective community response, to name a few.#EmergencyPreparedness#InfectiousDisease#COVID-19#Data#AccesstoCareorClinicalServices#HealthEquity#RuralorTribal#SocialDeterminantsofHealth-SDOH#WhitepapersGuidesandReports#ToolkitsandTools
