abstract: 'Background: Individuals with disabilities are a health disparity
population with high rates of risk factors, lower overall health status,
and greater health care costs. The interacting effect of employment,
health and disability has not been reported in the research.
Objective: This study examined the relationship of employment to health
and quality of life among people with disabilities.
Methods: Self-reported survey data and secondary claims data analyses of
810 Kansans ages 18-64 with disabilities who were dually-eligible for
Medicare and Medicaid; 49\% were employed, with 94\% working less than
40 hours per week. Statistical analyses included ANOVA for differences
between the employed and unemployed groups'' health status, risk scores,
and disease burdens; chi-square analyses for differences in prevalence
of health risk behaviors and differences in quality of life by
employment status; and logistic regression with health status measures
to determine factors associated with higher than average physical and
mental health status.
Results: Findings indicated participants with any level of paid
employment had significantly lower rates of smoking and better quality
of life; self-reported health status was significantly higher, while per
person per month Medicaid expenditures were less. Employment, even at
low levels, was associated with better health and health behaviors as
well as lower costs. Participants reported being discouraged from
working by medical professionals and federal disability policies.
Conclusions: Although cause-effect cannot be established from this
study, findings strongly support changes to provider practices and
federal disability policy to support employment at all levels for people
with disabilities. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.'
