As a result of ableism, people with disabilities (PWD) experience diagnostic overshadowing-attributing symptoms to disability rather than a potentially new or co-morbid condition. the goal of this researh is to identify and create understanding of what underlies and contributes to diagnostic overshadowing. The investigators plan to develop ways to reduce it, specifically ways to identify people with disabilities at risk of diagnostic overshadowing/diagnostic error. The investigators will also develop education programs and decision supports targeted to healthcare professionals.
