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 in the process. According to STAT's report, the change means the flagship federal survey will no longer track disability status in the same way. Disability advocates and health researchers are likely to raise concerns that the change will make it harder to measure health gaps affecting Americans with disabilities.
Why now: The removal of disability questions from a key federal health data source raises fears about losing visibility into health inequities for disabled Americans.
