This report presents data on the disability status of the noninstitutional population of the United States. The source of the data is a combined sample from the 1990 and 1991 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). A topical module (or supplement) containing an extensive set of questions about disability status was asked as part of the sixth wave of the 1990 panel and the third wave of the 1991 panel. Both of these waves were in the field during the last 3 months of 1991 and the first month of 1992. The total sample size for this study was approximately 30,000 interviewed households. Estimation procedures were used to inflate weighted sample results to independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutinal population of the United States.
