Finally,therewas evidence that the trends in merit closure rates over time differed significantly among the race/ethnicity groups.CONCLUSIONS: There was significant evidence that the proportion of claims closed with merit was significantly differentamong the racial/ethnicity groups.Keywords: Disability, employment, discrimination, minorities |
