As CDC redesigns annual health survey, it removes questions about disabilities

A redesign of the federal government’s health survey would result in undercounting Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities, advocates say.

美国疾控中心拟改版全国健康访谈调查，把成人问卷从482题砍到150题并删除多项残疾相关问题，倡导者警告这将严重低估智力与发育性残疾人群。批评者指出，这与卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪降低慢性病负担的目标相悖，因为该群体心脏病、糖尿病和肥胖率更高。
