An Inventory of Federally Sponsored HIV and HIV-Relevant Databases
(Report)

Many federal agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Social Security Administration (SSA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), maintain major HIV-related databases. The databases maintained or sponsored by these agencies contain a range of potentially useful information, including epidemiologic and patient-level clinical data as well as health resource utilization, disability benefits, and insurance claims information. Despite the potential utility of these databases to address multi-agency policy issues, there is no single inventory that fully describes their study design, data collection methodology, and common and unique data elements. As a result, both policy makers and researchers may not be fully aware of the breadth of data available to support their policy making, administrative, program evaluation, and research needs. This report addresses that gap. |

Programmatic Definitions of Disability: Policy Implications
(Report)
|
Author(s): Michele Adler |
Organization(s): Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation |
This paper looks at programmatic definitions of disability for federal disability programs by: (1) reviewing and examining major programmatic definitions of disability, and (2) describing complex eligibility processes by using the Social Security Disability Insurance program as an example. Programmatic definitions are critical from a federal policy perspective because they determine who is or could be eligible to receive benefits, who could not, and who could be if program modifications were made. Massive amounts are spent on federal programs targeted on persons with disabilities--$85 billion or 8% of all federal outlays in FY 1989. [26 PDF pages] |
