A quantitative study of attitudes toward the research participation of adults with intellectual disability: Do stakeholders agree?
Attitudes toward the research participation of adults with intellectual disability inform research policy and practice, impact interest in and support for research participation, and promote or discourage the generation of new knowledge to promote health among adults with intellectual disability. Yet we know little about these beliefs among the public and the scientific community. (Source: Disability and Health Journal)

Enhancing individual and community disaster preparedness: Individuals with disabilities and others with access and functional needs
Preparedness planning is essential to minimizing the impact of disasters on communities and individuals. Attention to the needs of people with disabilities is vital as they have additional needs before, during and after a disaster that are specific to the disabling condition. In this Commentary, we emphasize national guidelines on disability inclusion in emergency preparedness. We examine some potential areas of planning and response that need attention as suggested by preparedness data for people with self-reported disabilities (also referred to as access and functional needs) and highlight selected resources (e.g., tools...

Thank you to our reviewers
This issue marks the beginning of a new decade for Disability and Health Journal. Our journal has grown over the previous 10 years, the field has grown, and the science about health and disability has become more solid and accessible. This is in large part because of our authors and scientists who continue to look to DHJO as a journal worthy of their latest research results, our Editorial Board who participate in reviewing manuscripts and promoting the journal, and an increasing group of journal reviewers who offer their time and expertise in our peer-review process.

Underrepresentation of adolescents with respiratory, mental health, and developmental disabilities using American Community Survey (ACS) questions
Disability prevalence estimates are used to identify populations, establish priorities and allocate funding for a broad range of federal, state, and local initiatives. Increasingly, these estimates are based on a set of six questions developed and tested for use in the American Community Survey (ACS). A key assumption about the ACS disability screeners is that they sufficiently capture the entire population of people with disabilities, but some studies indicate that certain disability groups are underrepresented.

Instructing children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Examining swim instructors' knowledge building experiences
Although there has been a notable increase in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnoses over the past twenty years, children with ASD continue to be underrepresented in physical activity opportunities. Swimming lessons have been suggested as an ideal form of physical activity for this population, but studies exploring instructors' experiences gaining knowledge specific for instructing these swimmers remains limited. Research in this area is warranted, as drowning is a leading injury cause of death for persons with ASD. (Source: Disability and Health Journal)
