摘要

In 2003, the Census Bureau introduced a change to the disability items on the American Community Survey (ACS) mail-back paper questionnaire. The intent of the new layout and skip instructions was to reduce confusion among respondents and thereby reduce potential erroneous reporting. This report contains the initial results of an analysis describing the effects of the change. The evidence presented suggests that it is not possible to discern which portion, if any, of the difference between 2002 and 2003 disability estimates can be attributed to actual change in the number or percentage of people with disabilities. As a result, the Census Bureau will not present any time-series data showing estimates from 2002 and earlier with data from 2003 and later for the affected items. The objective of this short paper is to describe the changes in the questionnaire and the effect on the published disability data. Section 2 provides some background useful for understanding the sensitivity of questions on disability. The section reviews important elements of the ACS data collection process involving differences between mail-back paper questionnaires and computer-assisted interviews (CAI). The section also provides details on previous research suggesting that the paper questionnaire may be confusing to respondents and result in erroneous reports of disability.
