Title: CANCELLED - The Role of Prescription Drugs in Health and Disability
Author(s): Michele Connolly
Companies: U.S. Social Security Administration
Address:
Keywords: disability ; functioning ; health outcomes ; prescription drugs
Abstract:

This roundtable will explore the role of prescription drugs in counteracting disability and improving health and functioning. Often, health and disability status are improved by the use of prescription drugs, yet researchers tend to not consider this. On the other hand, clinical trials for prescription drugs often focus on short-term effects, rather than the long-term implications for people with disabilities or those with poor health and functioning.
