Harmonizing Disability Data
Disability data are collected using a variety of methods, some for
disability-specific programs but many times for more general purposes.
Daniel Mont and coauthors argue for harmonizing the standard question
sets
<[link removed]>
in all types of disability data collection, asserting that harmonization
could improve the quality and utility of disability data.
The authors highlight several challenges in harmonizing disability data:
* Agreeing on a common strategy to collect disability data may be
challenging.
* There are administrative costs associated with adding questions or
changing data tools.
* Any change to data collection methodology will affect the ability to
monitor trends.
In addition to Mont's research, there are several articles in the
Disability & Health
<[link removed]>
issue that address the topic of data collection and measurement
criteria.
Jean Hall and coauthors compare measures of functional difficulty
<[link removed]>
with self-Identified disability and Willyanne DeCormier Plosky and
coauthors discuss how unclear eligibility criteria
<[link removed]>
exclude people with disabilities from clinical research.
For research on disability data, read more in our October issue.
