Causal Relationships between Poverty and Disability
Lustig, Daniel C.; Strauser, David R.
Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v50 n4 p194-202 Sum 2007
Although research suggests why disability may cause poverty, it is not well understood why poverty may cause disability. This article presents the Poverty Disability Model, which includes four groups of factors that increase the risk that poverty will cause disability and chronic health problems. Rehabilitation interventions and counselor implications derived from the model are presented in addition to research.
