• Description:
  This Data Brief Report presents the analysis of the American Community Survey (ACS) for the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS). This document describes the methods used to construct the estimates. For VEHSS, we analyzed Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) to estimate the prevalence of self-reported vision difficulty at the national and state level by detailed demographic, risk factor and social determinant of health (SDOH) characteristics. Because PUMS data is not available at the county level, we report county-level estimates from 5-year merged ACS samples as reported through disability subject tables on data.census.gov.
