Disability in the American Community Survey : ウィキペディア英語版 | Disability in the American Community Survey
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a primary source of information on the type and prevalence of disability in the US. Understanding the characteristics of the disabled population of the United States is important for many reasons.〔Brault M W. (2012). Americans with disabilities: 2010 (pp. P70-P131). US Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, US Census Bureau.〕 Determining the number and geographical location of people with disabilities is crucial for policies aimed at providing services like public transportation. ==Influential data source on disability== The United States Census Bureau is legally charged with developing information on the type and prevalence of disability in the population. The ACS is a primary source of information on the type and prevalence of disability in the US. There are other smaller survey studies that provide some insight on disability in the US. While studies like the National Health Interview Survey the Health and Retirement Study, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and the Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study are used to infer valuable disability-related health characteristics in the US population, data from the ACS plays a key role in helping allocate federal funds (from tax dollars) for the disabled. For example, in fiscal year 2008, data from the ACS assisted more than 180 federal domestic assistance programs make decisions on how to distribute $416 billion (29% of all federal assistance budget) and about $389 billion in federal grant funding. The primary purpose of collecting ACS data on disability is to help the US Congress determine the allocation of federal funds and inform policies. Consequently, data on disability in the ACS has research, policy, and funding relevance.
