Disability
Description:
The term disability is a subjective assessment of inability to carry out work, family, or other social roles that individuals are generally expected to be able to do because of limitations in physical or mental functioning caused by impairments, or physical or mental health conditions. Questions were added for Round 3 beginning in 2000 (Panel 4 Round 3) to determine how many of the reported disability days occurred in the previous year so that year-by-year analysis would be accurate.
