Resumen

La American Community Survey-6 (ACS-6) identifica diagnósticos de discapacidad similares en la mayoría de los grupos demográficos, pero los diagnósticos varían significativamente según la edad. Esto resalta la necesidad de tener en cuenta la heterogeneidad relacionada con la edad en la futura recopilación de datos sobre discapacidad.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud Pública
Epidemiología
Sociología de la Salud

Sus antecedentes:

La recopilación de datos federales sobre discapacidad utiliza principalmente la American Community Survey-6 (ACS-6) para identificar a personas con discapacidades a través de preguntas sobre limitaciones funcionales.
Se sabe poco sobre los diagnósticos específicos capturados por la ACS-6 o su consistencia en diferentes subgrupos demográficos.

Objetivo del estudio:

Caracterizar los diagnósticos de discapacidad identificados por la ACS-6.
Evaluar la consistencia de la población identificada por la ACS-6 en diferentes subgrupos demográficos.

Principales métodos:

Un estudio transversal analizó datos de 13,341 personas con discapacidad en la Encuesta de Ingresos y Participación en Programas (SIPP) de 2023/2024.
Se evaluó la prevalencia de 36 agrupaciones de diagnósticos de la ACS-6 en general, por pregunta individual y entre grupos de edad, raza/etnia, sexo y educación, con una mayor desagregación por estado de discapacidad cognitiva.

Principales resultados:

Los diagnósticos comunes entre los adultos en edad de trabajar incluyeron ansiedad/TOC, depresión, problemas musculoesqueléticos, problemas de espalda/columna vertebral y trastornos neurológicos.
Los diagnósticos de discapacidad identificados por la ACS-6 mostraron variación entre los grupos de edad.
Sin embargo, los diagnósticos fueron en gran medida similares entre los grupos demográficos definidos por sexo, raza/etnia y nivel educativo.

Conclusiones:

La ACS-6 identifica una población consistente en subgrupos demográficos, excluyendo la edad.
Existe una heterogeneidad sustancial dentro de los diagnósticos de discapacidad entre los grupos de edad y dentro de los subgrupos.
Las futuras revisiones de la recopilación de datos federales sobre discapacidad deben considerar esta heterogeneidad en el diseño de la encuesta.

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys

Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Types of Surveys

Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...
