Product Description:
This DD Data Brief represents a departure from previous issues, which have focused on the characteristics and needs of persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (ID/DD) in the non-institutionalized U.S. population based on results from the National Health Interview Survey on Disability (NHIS-D) fielded in 1994-1995. In this issue, we present findings from the later years of the NHIS. We focus on one of the issues in identifying and describing the characteristics of people with ID/DD in the 1997 NHIS and later, and describe response rate and proxy response issues that disproportionately affect individuals with ID/DD. This issue is authored by Gerry Hendershot who worked at the National Center on Health Statistics during the time the NHIS-D was fielded and is now a private consultant.
