"This study uses the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability to explore the experiences of barriers to accessibility in public spaces among persons with disabilities aged 15 years and over. More closely examining the barriers encountered by persons with disabilities as they navigate their environments is important in furthering progress towards an accessible and inclusive Canada. The descriptive statistics show that over half of persons with disabilities experience barriers in public spaces and that the proportion experiencing barriers in this domain varies by disability-related and sociodemographic characteristics. When multiple factors are taken into account using multivariate techniques, many of these characteristics continued to be significantly associated with experiencing barriers in public spaces. Disability-related factors independently associated with higher odds of experiencing barriers included having more severe disabilities, having unmet needs for disability supports and having unmet needs for help with everyday activities. In terms of sociodemographic factors, the odds of experiencing barriers to accessibility in public spaces increased with age and were higher among women, 2SLGBTQ+ persons and those residing in medium or large urban population centres"--Abstract, page 4.
