What is NCI-AD?

Establish in 2015, National Core Indicators—Aging and Disabilities™ (NCI-AD™) is a voluntary effort by state aging and physical disability agencies to measure and track their performance using a standardized set of nationally validated measures. The effort is coordinated by Advancing States and Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). Learn more about our history here.

In 2021-22 a total of 19 states participated in NCI-AD. Not all participating states do all surveys every year.

What is the NCI-AD
Adult Consumer Survey?

The NCI-AD Adult Consumer Survey (ACS), is standardized survey conducted with a person receiving long term services and supports (LTSS) through state aging and physical disability systems. Surveys are conducted by trained surveyors through in-person, secure video meeting, or over-the-phone conversations with service participants. The main part of the survey contains subjective questions about how well services are supporting the person; these can only be answered by the person themselves. A subset of more objective questions may be answered by a proxy respondent if needed. In addition to the questions for service participants, the survey also collects background information on the person –demographic and service-related data – mainly from service agency records. In 2021-22, the survey included two state-optional modules:

Person-Centered Planning Module. This is a series of questions that ask about the person-centered planning process, including the person’s experience developing the service plan and the service planning meeting. The following states conducted the Person-Centered Planning Module: CO, DE, GA, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, NJ, OK, TX, WA, WI.

COVID-19 Supplement. This included a series of questions of the person’s experience with services during COVID-19 and the overall impact of the pandemic on the person’s life. The following states conducted the COVID-19 Supplement: CO, DE, GA, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, NJ, OK, TX, WA, WI.

Sampling

There is considerable variation in how states’ long-term services and supports (LTSS) programs serving older adults and adults with physical disabilities are organized, funded, and administered. The NCI-AD program allows states to include programs funded through Medicaid, the Older Americans Act, Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), state-only funds, and/or other state- and federal-blended funds. The NCI-AD project team works closely with each participating NCI-AD state to advise and track which LTSS program populations and sub-populations are included in the state’s sampling strategy, how that sample is designed and how many surveys are targeted for completion. See detailed information on state sample frames here.

What is included in this report?

This report presents Oklahoma 2021-22 ACS demographics and outcomes results. Data are shown for the overall statewide average, broken out by program sampled, and include the weighted NCI-AD Average.

Please note: Extreme caution should be used when interpreting results where the number of valid responses is small. Each program’s valid number of responses (valid Ns) is shown in every chart and table in this report.

To protect people’s privacy we do not show the data when 20 or fewer people from a state or within a program responded to a question, however their data are included in the overall state average.

Presentation of Data

Data may be viewed as bar charts or in tables by clicking the appropriate tab for each outcome. Data presented in charts are “collapsed” meaning that data grouped by response options to what is considered to reflect a positive outcome and all other responses. Tables represent the un-collapsed data outcomes.

All NCI-AD data are collapsed “yes” responses only, unless otherwise noted.

All state and NCI-AD averages throughout this report are “weighted” to account for any non-proportional sampling of programs and to “rebalance” the states’ sample sizes according to their populations of survey-eligible service recipients. See more details on weighting in Part II of this report.
