Abstract

We aimed to: 1) identify key characteristics of geographic environments relating to the health and wellbeing of young people with disability that have been published in the literature, and 2) determine the coverage of evidence examining these characteristics and current gaps in knowledge of the ways geographic environments support health and wellbeing outcomes for young people with disability.
