In approving
this survey, NCHS to do the following in connection with the
developmental disabilities questionnaire: --immediately submit a
description of the plan to recruit participants for the testing of

target questions (e.g., for those with mental disabilities only, it
may be possible to reduce the detail of the questions asked about
physical capabilities.) --seek the advice/consult with the
Department of Education/NIDRR and the Administration on Children
and Families (formerly OHDS) in HHS on any supplement for inclusion
in the 1993 NHIS.
