Product Description:
This DD Data Brief summarizes findings from the National Health Interview Survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, National Center on Health Statistics in 1994 and 1995. In these years, 202,560 people were surveyed using the National Health Interview Survey Disability Supplement (NHIS-D), including 140 mothers with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (ID/DD) and 1,081 mothers with other substantial functional limitations (FL Only). This DD Data Brief examines the characteristics and outcomes for mothers with disabilities and their children, estimates the number of mothers with ID/DD in the U.S. non-institutionalized population, and examines factors that influence developmental outcomes for both mothers with disabilities and their children.
