Washington Group on Disability Statistics |
|
|
The sixth meeting of the Washington Group on Disability Statistics was held October 10-13, 2006 in Kampala, Uganda, hosted by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. The Washington Group has developed a short set of questions on disability that address the issue of assessing equalization of opportunity. The question set is intended to provide internationally comparable data, primarily for use in census formats. Standardized pre-tests of these questions were conducted in 15 countries to determine how well the Washington Group questions perform across different countries and cultures. A large part of the sixth meeting was dedicated to interpretation of the pre-test results and recommendations for the question set.

Workgroup
Contacts
Three workgroups will address major next
steps of the WG. Chairs have been identified for each workgroup. The
chairs serve as the contact for each group. Information on the workgroup
topics and chairs is provided below. WG members who wish to volunteer
to participate in one of these groups are to contact the workgroup
chairs.
Workgroup on
the Short Set
Chair: Barbara Altman, USA
This workgroup will consider minor revisions to the question set within
the next few months. In addition, the group will develop an alternative
(optional) question on upper body function. The workgroup was also
charged with addressing the use of the short set as a screener.
Combined
Workgroup
on Data Analysis and Methodological Issues
Chairs:
Dan Mont, USA and
Howard Meltzer,
United Kingdom
Although detailed analyses of the pre-test data were presented at the
6th meeting, the WG agreed that there is much more analytical work that
can be done that would be informative. The workgroup on data analysis
was charged with completing this work. Both of these workgroups (on the
short set and data analysis) will jointly plan and oversee publication
of the pre- test results.
It was decided that the methodological workgroup would be merged with
the data analysis workgroup to address three specific issues: 1)
portability of questions across administration modes; 2) how the
questions work for specific subpopulations such as those with severe
disability, children, or the institutionalized population; and 3) the
use of proxy informants. It was agreed that proxy reporting is a
priority for the group.
Workgroup
on
the Extended Set/s
Chair: Margie Schneider,
South Africa
The workgroup was charged with drafting a position paper specific to
developing an extended question set for the purpose of assessing
equalization of opportunities. The position paper will include the plan,
purpose, and approach for developing the extended set. It was agreed
that the primary issue for this extended set is expansion of the
existing domains covered in the short set and adding to the existing
domains. The WG will collaborate with UNESCAP on development of the
extended set/s.
