Promoting equitable access to health promotion opportunities to underserved populations is a continual national public health priority. The ability to understand and integrate the needs of participants with a wide range of abilities is critical for anyone involved in the implementation of evidence-based health promotion programs. This workshop will be provided by staff from the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability and the Kentucky Inclusive Health Collaborative housed at the University of Kentucky Human Development Institute. It will cover foundational-level knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to adapt chronic disease prevention and management programs to make them available to participants with and without disabilities.
