Abstract Details

2000, MS, University of Cincinnati, Medicine : Environmental Health Sciences.
This research uses logistic regression to examine subtle forms of workplace discrimination among the disabled population. The perceptions of restricted opportunities in the workplace were examined for those reporting conditions due to mental vs. physical disabilities using data from the 1994-1995 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). These restricted opportunities are defined as being denied (1) a promotion, (2) a transfer, or (3) access to training. When both primary and secondary conditions were included in the model, it was found that those with only mental disabilities were almost six times as likely to report restricted opportunities, and those with both mental and physical disabilities were almost eight times as likely to report restricted opportunities in the workplace compared to those who only have physical disabilities. This current study is limited by reliance on self-reported data. Future studies comparing self-report responses to actual personnel records may be useful.
