I want to caution people reading Margaret Nosek's articles ( alldue
respect) because she found equal rates of abuse between her two sample.
That is the same level between no disabled and disabled women but her
sample ONLY included physically disabled women and ONLY included self
selected women. No women with developmental visual, hearing or learning
disabilities were included and of the women who did not have disabilities
they self selected too so it is possible the samples are not
representative. I only offer this because Dick SObsey (and I ,, and DAWN
Canada and others) have foud much higher rates of abuse between 2 to 4
times the average among disabled people (and children) and this one
project Margaret Nosek did- did not confirm this rate and people are using
the data or the findings to say nothing needs to be done about the issue
so please read the sampling methods carefully. Margaret knows the
limitations of the research its people reading it who misconstrue it.
Thanks
