The Short Disability Module (SDM)	The first time the SDM was included in the NATSISS. The SDM was modified for remote areas.	The SDM was again modified for remote areas. The SDM also had fewer questions, which limited disability severity output. Some additional Disability Type questions were asked in remote areas.	The first time the SDM was included in the NATSIHS.

The full SDM was used in both non-remote and remote areas, with some wording amendments to aid comprehension.
