A total of 1,735 adults in the U.S. completed the survey between July 1 and October 15, 2025. This sample included 1,070 participants who self-reported having a disability or health condition, and 665 who self-reported having no disabilities or health conditions. The most frequently represented disability types included chronic health conditions (30.2%), mental health conditions (26.5%), blindness/low vision (21.2%), ADHD (13.1%), and physical disabilities (9.2%), and smaller participant numbers identifying as autistic, D/HH, and as having learning and speech disabilities. Many participants selected more than one disability type. Individuals from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico participated.
Table 1 shows a full demographic breakdown of the sample. For selected comparisons between race groups, race was collapsed into two categories: White participants (those indicating they were only White non-Hispanic) and non-White participants (those indicating any other race). For selected comparisons between age groups, age was collapsed into four categories approximating well-known generational cohorts: ages 18-25 (“Gen Z”), ages 26-45 (“Millennials”), ages 46-65 (“Gen X”), and ages 66 and older (“older adults”, combining members of the Baby Boomer, Silent, and Greatest generations).
