The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed the Disability and Health Data System (DHDS). DHDS is an interactive, online source of state-level data on the health and wellness of adults with disabilities. Users can access information on five functional disability types: cognitive (serious difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions), mobility (serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs), vision (serious difficulty seeing), self-care (difficulty dressing or bathing) and independent living (difficulty doing errands alone). Information on limitation status (use of special equipment or activity limitation because of physical, mental, or emotional problems) is also available. Data on more than 30 health topics among adults with or without disabilities can be explored in DHDS, including smoking, physical activity, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. Users can customize the data they want to view, making it easy to see information about their state or region, and they can identify health differences between adults with and without disabilities overall, and by age, sex, and race and ethnicity. Accessibility: This website is generally accessible using a screen reader.
