Depending on the target of the demographer's research, statistics on gender, age, ethnicity, disability status, labor force participation, and economic standing can be obtained. These data can be useful in a variety of situations. Kirchner (1988) described 8 purposes for having accurate demographic data on the population of people with visual impairments: a) to document need for existing or innovative programs b) to support testimony on legislation affecting people with visual impairments; c) to inform legislative analysis to evaluate public programs and to develop new policy; d) to serve as a baseline measure for researchers; e) to inform evidence in judicial hearings; f) to support marketing strategies for businesses targeting people with visual impairments; g) to provide support for the training of needed professionals; and h) to justify fund-raising and public education activities. Directors of a state agency providing rehabilitation services to people with visual impairments generally use population data for the following purposes: to support or oppose testimony on applicable legislation, to evaluate public programs, to propose new policy, to justify public education activities, and to document the need for services. Access to an accurate source of information with regard to the number of individuals with visual impairment is critical. With this prevalence information, agencies can more confidently estimate the current and future need for services, identify groups whose needs are met, and prepare for corresponding changes in the requirements for appropriately trained service providers. More importantly, accurate prevalence data provides administrators with the support that they need to prepare funding requests that reflect the true nature of the potential demands for their services. The difficulty acquiring accurate data on the numbers of individuals with visual impairments has been described in detail by Kirchner (1983, 1999) and Beatty and Davis (1998). Problems are related primarily to researchers' use of different definitions to describe the phenomenon of visual impairment. While some researchers use medically-based definitions, such as 'legal blindness' as their criteria, others use functional definitions, such as not being able to read ordinary print or unable to read newspaper In education, the requirement that only one disability be identified for the annual child count results in underestimations of the total number of students served by teachers of students with visual impairments (see Kirchner & Diament, 1999 for detailed explanations of these reporting issues). Another factor that impacts prevalence data is the context in which the questions are asked. Surveys focusing on health status tend to result in fewer individuals being identified as visually impaired than do surveys focusing on economic issues (e.g., ability to work) (Kirchner, 1999). The manner in which data are collected also has an impact on the results. Visually screening participants provides objective data about eye disease and acuity (Katz & Tielsch, 1996), while interviews and surveys result in more subjective findings-and these can complicated by whether the survey respondent is reporting for him or herself or for a family member (Nelson, 1987). Two often-cited sources of data on the prevalence of blindness are the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. While neither of these surveys focuses specifically on visual impairment, they sometimes include questions related to limitations in seeing or reading print. Interestingly, these two studies result in substantially different estimates of the numbers of individuals with visual impairments, with the SIPP finding that approximately 7. …" @default.
