The following questions ask about difficulties due to health conditions. Health conditions include diseases or illnesses, other health problems may be short or long lasting, injuries, mental or emotio
How does disability affect everyday life?
Health conditions of any kind, whether physical, mental, or behavioural, can affect everyday life in measurable ways. The impact ranges from concentration and getting around to self-care, relationships, work, and being part of your community. It varies widely between people with the same condition. This self-assessment captures that impact across six areas of life over the past 30 days.
What this assessment explores
Health conditions – physical or mental – affect people's lives in very different ways. This assessment explores how a health condition might be affecting your ability to function day-to-day: how you're getting around, taking care of yourself, connecting with others, and participating in the things that matter to you. It's built on the WHODAS 2.0, a global assessment instrument developed by the World Health Organization.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 36 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on how much difficulty you've been experiencing across different areas of your life over the past 30 days.
The questions touch on things like:
- Cognition – understanding, concentrating, and communicating
- Mobility – moving around and getting from place to place
- Self-care – managing daily tasks like eating, dressing, and hygiene
- Getting along – how you're managing relationships and interactions with others
- Life activities – work, study, household responsibilities, and leisure
- Participation – how much you're able to engage in your community and society
Your responses give you a clearer picture of where a health condition is having the most impact on your life – and how significant that impact is across each area.
