The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between assistive technology workplace accommodation (AT-WA) usage and employment status among racial/ethnic populations with disabilities. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to analyze secondary data from the 2015 Kessler Foundation National Employment and Disability Survey (KFNEDS). Results indicated that significantly more consumers who used AT-WA were currently working, and a significantly greater proportion of them were White. Moreover, a significantly lower proportion of those who did not use AT-WA had less expected odds of being currently employed. Specific implications are discussed to inform practices, policy, and/or future research.
本研究的目的是检验残疾种族/族裔人群中辅助技术工作场所便利措施（AT-WA）的使用与就业状况之间的关系。使用卡方检验和逻辑回归分析了2015年凯斯勒基金会全国就业与残疾调查（KFNEDS）的二手数据。结果表明，使用AT-WA的消费者目前就业的人数显著更多，而且其中白人的比例显著更高。此外，未使用AT-WA的人群中目前就业的预期几率显著更低。讨论了具体影响，以为实践、政策和/或未来研究提供参考。
