Use of primary prevention services among male adults with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury in managed care and fee-for-service.
Future research needs to clarify the biases in clinical practice and potential barriers that may exist at both the provider and health plan levels that exclude men with physical disabilities from routine preventive services. As the population of people with disabilities ages and lives longer, it is necessary that routine preventive services are accessible and made available to them, regardless of gender, disability, or health insurance type.
