General description
The Disability and Health Data System (DHDS) provides state-level data on adults with six functional disability types: cognitive (serious difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering), hearing (deafness or serious difficulty hearing), independent living (difficulty running errands alone), mobility (serious difficulty climbing stairs or walking), self-care (difficulty bathing or dressing), and vision (blindness or serious difficulty seeing).
DHDS also contains data on over 30 health topics relating to adults with or without disabilities, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and smoking.
