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.
