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 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 issue that address the topic of data collection and measurement criteria.

Jean Hall and coauthors compare measures of functional difficulty with self-Identified disability and Willyanne DeCormier Plosky and coauthors discuss how unclear eligibility criteria exclude people with disabilities from clinical research.

For research on disability data, read more in our October issue.
