Quality and other technical information related to this item:

1993
Reliability tended to be poor, with respondents switching between "none" and "slight." More respondents switched in or out of "severe" than were originally in "severe." Respondents were more likely to report disabilities by mail than by CATI. Item nonresponse tended to be low: less than one percent for the NSRCG; less than two percent for the edited SDR data and less than three percent for the unedited NSCG mail data.
