Disability and Sexual Health Initiative Fund

Kinsey Institute

People with disabilities comprise one of the largest minority populations in the United States, yet this group has been underrepresented and understudied. The Kinsey Institute’s Disability and Sexual Health Initiative (DASHI) gives much-needed attention to understanding and improving the intimate lives and sexual well-being of people with disabilities and their partners.

Additional Info

Your gift supports studies on under-researched populations with disabilities. For example, DASHI’s inaugural study focused on condom-use issues for people with blindness or visual impairment. Such research helps identify disparities in sexual education and well-being among different disability populations. These studies also provide students with opportunities that will help prepare them to be future research leaders.

DASHI is a partnership between the Kinsey Institute and the IU Bloomington School of Public Health. Thank you for supporting this important work!
