This study examines demographic and mental health factors that predict Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) receipt among individuals with primary mental health limitations. We investigated whether age and other demographics directly predict SSDI receipt, if specific mental health symptoms are associated with benefit receipt.

Healthcare contributes approximately eight percent of the United States’ greenhouse gas emissions (Eckelman et al., 2020). The resource-intensive nature of hospitals often conflicts with the purpose to heal, creating unprecedented harm to patients, staff, and surrounding communities. The C6 Framework, which stands for Connect, Collect, Combat, Correct, Communicate, and Clear, offers a person-centered approach to integrating climate action and resilience into healthcare strategies.
