Lack of data on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with developmental disabilities (DDs) results in the inability of health surveillance systems to accurately determine the impact of the pandemic on marginalized populations and support needed. More specifically, there is a need to generate more data on the pandemic experiences of racialized people with DDs.
A project developed by the Office of Women’s Health Research Chair in Mental aimed to advance knowledge mobilization (KMb) by conducting a Virtual Community Workshop on COVID-19 health equity for racialized families with DDs.
