The Annual Census of Patient Characteristics in State and County

enumeration of all State and county mental hospitals and collects

physically present for 24 hours per day in the inpatient service at the
end of the reporting year. First conducted in 1840, the Census has
provided information throughout the years that is not available from
any other sources. The Census is the primary means within the Center
for Mental Health Services for assessing deinstitutionalization
practices of State and county mental hospitals. The annual burden
estimate is as follows:
