Cognitive Evaluation of Proposed Disability Question for the 1988 Dress Rehearsal

Written by:
SM97-07

Introduction

The cognitive evaluation of the two proposed versions of the disability questions for the 1998 Dress Rehearsal questionnaire consisted of twenty cognitive interviews. This evaluation consisted of interviewing people with disabilities, people who could report for a disabled household member, and people without disabilities. We also included both the parents of children with and without disabilities. Our resultant disabled [1] population consisted of a wide range of physical and mental disabilities. We had respondents or household members with diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, back injuries, heart disease, blindness, severe hearing impairments, severe learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, brain damage, mental retardation, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. We had reports for children with cerebral palsy and attention deficit disorder. Interviews were conducted between August 17 and September 13, 1997.
