Abstract:

The Washington City Group on Disability Measurement was commissioned by the United Nations Statistical Commission to address issues related to the measurement of disability in an international context so that culturally compatible measures of disability can be developed. The Group will develop principles for the design of global measures to be used in Censuses as well as survey items to be used as components in population surveys or as supplements to specialty surveys and, if possible, identify question batteries to be used for these purposes. The first meeting of the City Group will take place February 18 - 20, 2002, and the results of that meeting will be discussed.
