Abstract
To investigate whether a positive perception of one's neighborhood improves social connections among persons with disabilities and this relationship is moderated by disability acceptance. Individual level longitudinal SETTING: Community in South Korea PARTICIPANTS: 5166 individuals with disabilities INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: the number and frequency of contacts participants maintain with friends and neighbors RESULTS: The association between neighborhood perception and the number of friends and neighbors participants keep in contact with is stronger when individuals have higher levels of disability acceptance. Similar results were found for the frequency of informal relationships. This study provides an understanding of how neighborhood perception is associated with social connections among persons with disability.
