CDC drops disability questions from annual health survey
Original: As CDC redesigns annual health survey, it removes questions about disabilities
The CDC is redesigning its annual national health survey and has removed questions about disabilities from the questionnaire. The change, reported by STAT, has drawn criticism from disability advocates and researchers who say losing the data will make it harder to track health disparities and plan services for people with disabilities. Officials have framed the move as part of a broader overhaul of the survey.
Why now: Advocates and researchers fear losing federal data on people with disabilities will obscure health disparities and affect policy and services.
