, Differences |in |How |"Disability" |is |Defined? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-There |are |many |different |
ways |to |define |the |concept |of |"disability" |and |the |surveys |used |to |collect |disability |statistics |
don't |all |use |the |same |definition. |In |fact, |the |definitions |vary |widely. |Narrow |definitions |will |
result |in |smaller |percentages |of |people |reporting |a |disability. |Broader |definitions |will |result |in |
larger |percentages.
Explain |the |differences |in |Data |Collection |Methods |for |identifying |people |with |disabilities? |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Some |surveys |rely |on |individuals |to |report |their |own |disabilities. |
Others |rely |on |observations |or |data |collection |activities |by |the |people |administering |the |
survey. |These |collection |methods |can |cause |wide |variance |in |the |results.
Also, |if |the |purpose |of |the |data |collection |is |to |determine |whether |a |person |is |eligible |for |
government |benefits, |people |are |more |likely |to |report |a |disability |than |in |other |circumstances |
where |reporting |a |disability |may |result |in |negative |consequences |or |social |stigma.
The |wording |of |the |questions |on |a |survey |also |matters. |If |a |survey |simply |asks, |"Do |you |have |
a |disability?" |(or |other |similarly |vague |question), |the |results |won't |be |as |accurate |or |as |
meaningful |as |the |answers |to |more |precise |questions, |such |as, |"Do |you |experience |difficulty |
seeing |text |well |enough |to |read |it, |even |when |wearing |glasses?" |Surveys |can |ask |follow-up |
questions |to |get |answers |that |are |even |more |precise.
Explain |Political |or |Public |Relations |Biases |in |reporting |disabilities? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
Sometimes |a |country |or |organization |may |be |reluctant |to |report |accurate |numbers |about |
people |with |disabilities |because |of |a |fear |that |the |report |will |shine |an |unfavourable |light |on |
the |situation. |Under |these |circumstances |it |may |be |impossible |to |get |accurate |data |until |the |
fear |has |been |addressed.
