Book excerpt: "The World Health Organisation had just published a generic assessment instrument to measure general health and disability levels: the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule, WHODAS 2.0. WHODAS 2.0 is based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). It was developed and tested internationally and is applicable in different cultures both in general populations and in clinical settings. It can be used as a general measure across all diseases. This manual is aimed at public health professionals, doctor, other health professionals (for example rehabilitation professionals, physical therapists and occupational therapists), health policy planners, social scientists and others involved in studies on disability and health." -- Publisher.
Download or read book A Guide to Disability Statistics from the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System Disability Statistics User Guide Series written by William A. Erickson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the Cornell StatsRRTC is to bridge the divide between the sources of disability data and the users of disability statistics. One product of this effort is a set of "User Guides" to national survey data that collect information on the disability population. The purpose of each of the "User Guides" is to provide disability data users with: (1) An easily-accessible guide to the disability information available in the nationally-representative survey; (2) A set of estimates on persons with disabilities from the survey, including estimates on the size of the population, the prevalence rate, the employment rate and measures of economic well-being; (3) A description of the unique features of the survey; (4) A set of estimates that highlight the unique features of the survey; and (5) A description of how estimates from the survey compare to other national surveys that are used to describe the population with disabilities. This "User Guide" contains information on the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS). The BRFSS is a state-based system of health surveys that collects information on health risk behaviors, preventive health practices, and health care access primarily related to chronic disease and injury. The survey is conducted by the state health departments with technical and methodological assistance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The BRFSS is an annual cross-sectional telephone-based survey that provides national, state, and limited county-level data. It is designed to allow the CDC, state health departments, and other health and education agencies to monitor risk behaviors related to chronic diseases, injuries and death, identify emerging health problems, establish and track health objectives, and develop and evaluate public health policies and programs. The core survey includes two questions that are used to identify the population with disabilities with other optional modules that target disability-related issues. There are many features of the BRFSS that are useful to disability policymakers, disability service providers, and the disability advocacy community. First, the guide demonstrates that the BRFSS contains a unique combination of data on disability, demographic characteristics, health issues, behaviors and health care. Second, the sample size and the design of the BRFSS allows users to examine a variety of annual disability statistics at the national, state, as well as a limited number of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas (MMSA) and counties. Third, the BRFSS contains some questions regarding the diagnosis of specific conditions potentially related to disability including arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer. Fourth, individual state health departments can decide to include optional BRFSS modules to include in their survey, many of which are relevant disability issues including the following: number of "healthy days," asthma, visual impairments, diabetes, anxiety, depression and mental health. Appended are: (1) Analytical Issues; (2) Estimated Standard Errors; and (3) 2006 Sample Size for Each State by Disability Type, Ages 25 to 61. (Contains 30 tables, 1 figure and 5 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an informed review of the accomplishments of the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) in the provision of international data and statistics on disability. It does so within the context of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The volume includes a description of the development and testing of a short set of questions for Censuses, now used in approximately 29 countries and recommended in the U.N.’s Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses: The 2020 Round, which includes disability as a core topic to be collected in censuses. It discusses the experiences of several countries on the use of the WG questions and how this has impacted on national agendas in the area of disability. It follows the development and testing of an extended set of questions for use in national surveys other than censuses and examines the challenges of translation and the importance of generating comparable question sets in different languages and within different cultures. It studies the examination of cognitive testing techniques in a variety of countries, and presents the results of the first round of censuses in 2010 in countries using the six question set. The volume includes discussions of the new development of question modules on a broad range of child disability and functioning, and the environmental contexts of participation that are part of the current work of the WG. In addition, it contains a reflection on the use of the WG’s functionality approach to identifying disabilities by humanitarian agencies to identify disabilities in populations of displaced persons. A thoughtful conclusion addresses what the development of cross-nationally comparable data can mean for the improvement of circumstances for all persons with disabilities.
