Disability-affirmative integrated primary care.

The development of an antiracist and culturally responsive integrated health care professionals necessitates attention to, and appreciation of, the diverse intersectional identities of the patients with whom we work. Pamela Hays' (2001) ADDRESSING model (Age and generational influences, Developmental and acquired Disability, Religion and spiritual orientation, Ethnic and racial identity, Socioeconomic status, Sexual orientation, Indigenous heritage, National origin, and Gender) can provide a useful framework to understand the complex interaction of diverse identities, particularly among people with disabilities (PWD). PWD represent more than a quarter of the United States population (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2020), and the lived experiences of PWD are varied, with disability often serving as an "umbrella term" for functional differences in mobility, cognition, hearing, vision, self-care and independent living across the life span.
