The survey provides comprehensive information on multiple disability conceptualizations that can be identified using information about health conditions (both physical and mental), activity limitations, and service receipt (e.g. SSI, SSDI, Vocational Rehabilitation). This provides flexibility for researchers in defining populations of interest. This paper provides a description of the data available in the NHIS-D and information on how the data can be used to better understand the lives of people with disabilities.en-USchartsdatadevelopmental disableddisabilitiesdisabilitydisability statisticsDisability Statistics ResearchEDIcat5-DSRdisabledisableddisablementdisablingearningseconomiceconomicseconomyemployemployingemploymentestimatesfiguresgraphshandicaphandicappedimpairmentinformationLabor Marketlearning disabilitylimitationmental handicapmental retardationnumbersphysical disabilityself-employmentspecial needstatisticstatisticsstatsworkdisability demographicsNational Health Interview Survey – Disability SupplementNHIS-Darticle
