Excerpt
The Bureau of the Census is conducting the Disability Followback Survey (DFS) for the National Center for Health Statistics to obtain objective and descriptive information about disability, polio survivorship, and aging. Specific topics in the DFS questionnaires differ for various age groups. For example, we ask about assistive devices, mental health services, home health services, and education/recreation services for children under 18. For adults .(18 +), the topics include housing and long-term care, transportation, social activities, vocational rehabilitation, and use of other medical services. The DFS is actually a continuation of the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (HIS) Disability Supplement, but is being administered as a separate survey.
