"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.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is engaged in redesigning its disability determination process for providing cash benefits and medical assistance to blind and disabled persons under the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program (Title II and Title XVI of the Social Security Act). The agency has undertaken a multiyear research effort to develop and test the feasibility, validity, reliability, and practicality of the redesigned disability determination process before making any decision about its national implementation. Survey Measurement of Work Disability reviews and provides advice on this research. One of the major areas for review is the ongoing independent, scientific review of the scope of work, design, and content of the Disability Evaluation Study (DES) and the conduct of the study by the chosen survey contractor. This report identifies statistical design, methodological, and content concerns and addresses other issues as they arise.

This report describes a programme of work carried out by the Fire Research Centre at the University of Ulster for the Department of the Environment, London. The research programme was structured such that: the prevalence of disability in the United Kingdom was established from published and unpublished work, the nature and severity of individual disabilities and disabilities in combination were determined from one of the most comprehensive databases available, the areas of disability were considered with respect to their relevance to emergency egress and reduced to a generic set, ie, locomotion, dexterity, seeing, hearing and mental, considered sufficient for use in risk assessment engineering, experimental studies were devised and executed to measure the egress capabilities of people with disabilities and produce appropriate input data for risk assessment modelling, a strategy for classifying disabled people with respect to fire safety was developed, and it was possible to estimate the likelihood of each category of disabled being in any building purpose group used in Building Regulations. This report is addressed to two specific classes of readers: (a) those who prefer the qualitative statements distilled from behaviours observed during the various experiments. These are of the form: "the subjects regarded the task as a challenge; were eager to do their best and tried very hard; a fire door situated at a bend in a corridor presented an almost insurmountable problem to a wheelchair user". These qualitative statements based on observations inform regulators, designers and managers of buildings in use of good and bad practice and are thus immediately applicable, (b) those who prefer hard data for the development and use of risk assessment tools. The experimental data expressed in terms of descriptive statistics is suitable input for Monte Carlo or other techniques which are employed in risk assessment tools to generate probabilities. Cost effective design demands the use of such tools. It is apparent that some people alone in a building or part of a building may not be able to open certain doors, hear a fire alarm or see the nearest exit signs. Realistically, it is unlikely that sufficient monies will be available in every ease to finance the level of support to 'ensure' safety in such a situation. Most case designs therefore may not be affordable but a designer cannot ignore the possibility, however remote that such a situation could occur. Risk assessment provides the opportunity to demonstrate that the building in use lies within the bounds of acceptable safety. Unfortunately, the inclusion of the numerical data generated by this work in this report, does not enhance its general readability but the inclusion of this data will be of specific and practical use to developers of risk assessment tools. Fire safety engineering is at present more difficult than its well established sister engineering disciplines, however, advances in computer based design analysis offer the potential of reliable robust risk assessment tools for use by trained engineers. The numerical data generated from this work is presented in the context of quantitative risk engineering.

This book argues that health measurements are given artificial authority if they are particularly amenable to calculability and easy measurement, and shows that problems often coalesce around disabilities that do not lend themselves to easy quantification.
