Questionnaire Text
11. Disability / Handicap
____
11. Disability [handicap]
This question deals with the principal illnesses or diseases which the Malian population suffers from. These illnesses are called disabilities because they contribute to the deterioration of the individual's state of health, a decline in their ability to work and a decrease in their output. In some cases they may even destroy any possibility of productive work. In this situation, ask the head of household the following question about every member of the household: "Does this person have a physical or mental disability?"
Write the answer in column 11 (Trypanosomiasis, insanity, leprosy, etc.)
