本研究探讨了越南中部少数民族残疾青年及其家庭的经历。这项研究的背景是越南战争期间被橙子剂污染的地区。数据是从与残疾青年的访谈以及与残疾儿童母亲的访谈和焦点小组中收集的。答复者表示，他们与世界各地的其他残疾人及其家人一样，在包容、教育、健康和福祉方面面临多重障碍。参与者寻求广泛的人权，因为他们描述了因残疾的负面社会反应以及居住在二恶英污染的地点而遭受的耻辱和边缘化。与会者的意见不仅对制定支持越南实施新的《国家残疾人法》的方案非常重要，而且在美国政府考虑为受橙子剂影响的越南国民提供物质支持的立法提案时也很及时。
This study examines the experiences of young people with disabilities from ethnic minorities, and their families, in central Vietnam. The study is set in an area contaminated by Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. Data were gathered from interviews with youth with disabilities and interviews and focus groups with mothers who had children with disabilities. Respondents expressed confronting multiple barriers to inclusion, education, health and well-being similar to other persons with disabilities and their families from around the world. Participants sought broad-ranging human rights as they described experiencing stigmatization and marginalization from negative social reaction toward disabilities and by residing in a location known for dioxin contamination. The participants' voices are not only important in informing program responses to support implementation of Vietnam's new National Law on Persons with Disabilities, but also timely as the US government considers proposed legislation providing material support for Vietnamese nationals affected by Agent Orange.
