AB  - A profile of the demography of individuals with mental retardation and related 
      developmental disabilities (MR/DD) was developed from the Survey of Income and 
      Program Participation, a national household survey. We estimated a total 1991 
      population of 2.97 million Americans with MR/DD, with 2.63 million living outside 
      the formal long-term care system. Observations suggest that (a) families are the 
      dominant form of support and, thus, a key constituency in disability policy; (b) 
      a large cohort currently live in households headed by aging family members; and 
      (c) there are significant economic disparities between subgroups of families, 
      defined primarily along gender and racial lines.
