This new edition contains a number of features not found in earlier versions. For example, Chapter 2: Life Cycle Development, treats the factor of time in human development, from birth through death, and identifies characteristics of the various stages of life and some of the potential problems. Chapter 6: Status of Research Related to Children, Chapter 7: Status of Research Related to Youth, and Chapter 8: Status of Research Related to Families are also new.

This report presents data from the Survey of Institutionalized Persons (SIP) conducted by the Bureau of the Census in 1976 for the U.S. Department of Health, and Human Services. The survey focused on long-term institutions, that is, facilities which offer residential care to persons for an average of 30 days or more. For this study, long-term care institutions were classified into six major types; nursing homes and homes for the aged, facilities for children, facilities for the physically handicapped and mentally handicapped, psychiatric institutions, and "other" long-term institutions such as those offering care for chronic diseases and extended care facilities of short-term hospitals. This survey was designed to (1) provide a three-demensional statistical profile of long-term institutionalization--the institution, the resident, and the resident's family; (2) update the 1967 Survey in Institutionalized Adults conducted for the Social Security Administration; and (3) provide baseline data for policy and program planning. There are six major areas of concern examined by the SIP: (1) Appropriateness of placement/admission and discharge; (2) institutional environment; (3) resident's rights and legal status; (4) level and effect of care; (5) financial considerations; and (6) effect of government programs and policies. 124 NCHS: REFER: ALSO: NUTRITION VHSS ) Series 1-10a & b Plan and Operation of the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, u.S., 1971-73 Series 1-14 Plan and Operation of the HANES I Augmentation Survey of Adults 25-74 Years: U.S., 1974-1975 Series 11-210 Food Consumption Profiles of White and Black Persons Aged 1-74 Years: uU.S., 1971-74 Series 11-209 Calories and Selected Nutrient Values for persons 1-74 Years of Age Series 11-202 Dietary Intake Findings, U.S., 1971- 1974 ADVANCEDATA Nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 21, 46, 64 (See pg. 177 for guide to ADVANCEDATA) American Medical Association Order Department P.O.

Many of the estimates of unnecessary surgery have come from Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the Ralph Nader-founded Science Institute in the Public Interest. Dr. Wolfe testified before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, as did several HHS officials and others during hearings since 1975.

Sources of these data include NCHS, health statistics firms, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical and optical manufacturers associations, and private and Government agencies serving the blind and visually handicapped. The NEI has the final report (1970) on the incidence and prevalence of legal blindness in the 16 states of the Model Reporting Area for Blindess Statistics (no longer in existence). This includes data on the degree and causes of visual loss in the legally blind population of these states. Reports are also available on the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and chronic openangle glaucoma and on the results of the Framingham Eye Study which measured the prevalence of selected eye diseases and identified health factors associated with them in a defined population. American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Dr. Berkowitz Director -- Advanced Development Department 15 W. 16 Street New York, NY 10011 Tel: (212) 620-2000 Contact: Corinne Kirchner Richard Peterson Statistical information about blind and visually impaired persons is disseminated in two ways. First, AFB has developed an on-going indexing system, the Statistical Information System on Visual Impairment and Blindness (SIS/VIB), to date covering over 300 documents. The system focuses on the social and demographic characteristics of persons with visual loss. It includes most major statistical sources on visual impairment and blindness, as well as comparative statistical sources for persons with other impairments, and for the U.S. population. SIS/VIB consists of four indexes: The Topical Index, the Statistical Index, the Data Base 169 VISION (Including Blindess and Disorders) (Continued) Index and the Place Name Index. The Topical Index allows cross-referencing of terms which are the major topics of the document, while the Statistical Index identifies terms on which statistical information is available in the document. Second, a series of "Statistical Briefs" is published periodically in the Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindess. These briefs include analyses of published data covered in SIS/VIB, previously unpublished data from major national data bases (such as NCHS' Health Interview Survey), and data from research projects conducted by AFB. A booklet containing the first ten "Statistical Briefs" (1978-80) will soon be available from the Publications Department. Topics covered in that booklet will include recent prevalence estimates, discussion of concepts used to measure visual loss, projections of the elderly blind and visually impaired population, analyses of employment and under-employment, estimates of multiply impaired blind persons, estimates of the school-age visually handicapped population, and information about low vision and other blindness agency services. Request for statistical information are answered with figures from Statistical Briefs where possible, or through use of SIS/VIB to access the requested data.
