| Abstract | This issue brief provides a national profile of individuals with developmental disabilities based on the National Health Interview Survey on Disability, Phase 1. This in-depth survey of 107,400 individuals uses a complex sampling strategy which is designed to provide national incidence estimates for each survey item. Data are reported which were made available in July of 1996. Findings indicate: (1) .1 percent has cerebral palsy, .29 percent has epilepsy, and 38.26 percent has other chronic conditions; (2) almost 90 percent of respondents with mental retardation reported living with a relative, much higher than other groups; (3) on average, 29 percent of people with disabilities reported work as their major life activity, as compared to 62 percent of the entire population; (4) the percent of respondents who worked was consistent across the disability groups at approximately 29 percent, with 67 percent identifying themselves as not in the labor force; (5) 77.8 percent of those working in all disability groups worked for private companies, and 15 percent worked for government bodies; and (6) respondents with mental retardation had the highest percentage of any group with a household income below the poverty threshold.
