Declarations

:

: This study obtained ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (No28068) and the Ethics Committee of Research with Human Beings of the Faculty of Medicine, of University of Chile (No152-2022). This research project adheres to the Declaration of Helsinki and relevant regulatory and ethical requirements. Informed consent to participate was obtained from all participants of key informant interviews.

: Our team reflects a diverse group of women from high-income countries (Canada, Chile, Germany, and the United Kingdom) and different ethnic backgrounds (e.g. White, Latino). We represent a mixed positioning on disability, including disability allies and lived family experiences of disability. The team is multidisciplinary, and different sectors are represented (government, academia, disability, health), with experience in conducting analysis of policies using similar methods in other countries. Co-authors reflect diverse seniority levels in research, ranging from early career to senior researchers. These varied backgrounds ensured that we considered the complexity of disability, considering the different needs across types of disabilities, ages, and genders. This approach allowed us to evaluate health policies through a comprehensive and inclusive lens.
