Relationship between employment and adaptive video gaming in individuals with physical disabilities
CONCLUSION: Participants in this study had higher rates of employment compared to national averages for individuals with physical disabilities.

Who shares fake news on social media? Evidence from vaccines and infertility claims in sub-Saharan Africa
by Kerstin Unfried, Jan Priebe The widespread dissemination of misinformation on social media is a serious threat to global health. To a large extent, it is still unclear who actually shares health-related misinformation deliberately and accidentally. We conducted a large-scale online survey among 5,307 Facebook users in six su b-Saharan African countries, in which we collected information on sharing of fake news and truth discernment. We estimate the magnitude and determinants of deliberate and accidental sharing of misinformation related to three vaccines (HPV, polio, and COVID-19). In an OLS framework we relate the act...

A Commentary on "Racism Within the Deaf Community"
Am Ann Deaf. 2023;168(4):213-225. doi: 10.1353/aad.2023.a922852.ABSTRACTIn 1972, Glenn Anderson collaborated with New York University colleague Frank Bowe to publish an American Annals of the Deaf article titled "Racism Within the Deaf Community" (Anderson & Bowe, 1972). It was written, in part, due to the influence of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, which affected both the Black Deaf and Black hearing communities, as well as in response to Anderson's experiences with a Deaf club in Detroit. Given that 52 years have passed since the article was published, this updated version, coauthored with Gallaudet Univ...

Screening Out Neurodiversity
Kennedy Inst Ethics J. 2023;33(1):21-54. doi: 10.1353/ken.2023.a899458.ABSTRACTAutistic adults suffer from an alarmingly high and increasing unemployment rate. Many companies use pre-employment personality screening tests. These filters likely have disparate impacts on neurodivergent individuals, exacerbating this social problem. This situation gives rise to a bind. On the one hand, the tests disproportionately harm a vulnerable group in society. On the other, employers think that personality test scores are predictors of job performance and have a right to use personality traits in their decisions. It is difficult to say ...
