dc.descriptionThe physically challenged are the most stigmatized and discriminated against in society. This is attributed to their disability and economic dependence. In the past few years, this forgotten group has started gaining increasing attention in many countries around the world. This is due to the collaborative effort of international organizations, NGOs, and governmental agencies in the implementation of the UN recommended community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programs. Ghana national CBR program, which took off in the early 1990s, has been implemented at the different levels of government across the country with successes and shortcomings. Some of the shortfalls of the Ghana CBR to date are in the areas of access to health information, especially HIV/AIDS, and services. This study was conducted with the objective of providing information that will enable the design of effective communication strategies to reduce the constraints in access to health information and knowledge of HIV/AIDS among the physically challenged in Ghana. Also, the study was conducted to enable effective integrated programs in the CBR that cater for the psychological needs of the physically challenged in their community.
