- Abstract:
- About the study. In 2021, Black-owned research firm EVITARUS conducted the Listening to Black Californians study for CHCF. In 100 individual interviews, 18 focus groups, and a statewide survey of 3,325 adult Black Californians, participants described their attitudes toward their own health and their experiences with the health care system. This set of fact sheets highlights the health care experiences of specific groups within California’s Black population. This fact sheet was written by Linda Cummings, PhD. About the participants: Black Californians with Disabilities. In 2021, one in four California adults (25.4%) reported a disability, similar to the percentage of adults reporting disabilities nationwide (27%). Approximately one in five Listening to Black Californians survey respondents (19%) report having “a disability of any type (such as mobility, cognitive, visual or sensory).” Reports of disabilities among Black Californians rise markedly after age 55, with more than half of respondents (54%) age 55 or older reporting disabilities.
