Disability: if no disability then write 0 in the blank box, if speaking problem write 1 in blank box, if vision problem then write 2 in blank box, if listening problem then write 3 in the blank box, if physical problem then write 4 in the blank box, if mental problem then write 5 in the blank box, if autistic write 6 in the blank box.

Now we would like to ask for information on you and the persons habitually living in your household or currently residing in your home

(10) Type of handicap

Begin writing down the codes from the left.
If the interviewee suffers from one infirmity, write down the appropriate code in the first box, and "0" in the second and third boxes. Never leave an empty box in column (10).
If the interviewee suffers from two infirmities, write down the appropriate codes for the types of handicap in the first two boxes, and "0" in the last (third) box.
Note:
1) One can thus report at most three main declared handicaps for a person suffering from several infirmities. [2 examples omitted]
2) When a census agent encounter a case of hemiplegia (complete or incomplete paralysis of a lateral half of the body), he must use the code 7 corresponding to other handicap.
3) For a counted person suffering from one infirmity (example mental handicap), the registered answer shall be: 4|0|0|
4) For a counted person suffering from no infirmities, the registered answer shall be: 0|0|0|

Write down the codes for the three main declared disabilities

Questions 1 [order number] to 12 [residency status] apply to all persons to count in the household.

11. Type of Handicap

A handicap is defined as a limitation of physical and/or mental abilities of a person, due to a deficiency that is congenital or acquired during one's existence. In other terms, it is a disadvantage of which a person suffers following an infirmity or incapacity and that prohibits them for totally or partially fulfilling a task that is otherwise normal given their age, sex, and different cultural factors. Any person incapable of fulfilling alone all or some necessities of a normal individual or social life, as a result of a deficiency, congenital or not, of their physical or mental capacities is considered handicapped.

Below is the list of elementary handicaps that the 4th GPHC of Benin has retained:

[] 00. No handicap

Intellectual handicap
[] 9. Trisomic [Down Syndrome] - A person suffering from a pathological state characterized by a mental debility and physical malformations, recognizable shortly following birth through an association with small size, an Asian type facies, a skin fold at the inner corner of the eye, a flattened skull, a frequently externalized tongue, hands with anomalous palm folds and short fingers.

[] 10. Autistic - An individual with a personality problem appearing in early childhood and characterized by an introverted attitude, a lack of interest in the surrounding world, a need to keep one's material environment identical, and language troubles.

[] 11. Mentally retarded [exact word used] - An individual suffering from an incomplete mental development or a stop in mental development, characterized by an insufficiency of faculties and of the global level of intelligence, notably at the level of cognitive functions, language, motor skills, and social performances.

Ask the following question:

Q: "Does [the respondent] exhibit one [or some] physical or mental handicap[s], apparent or non-apparent?"

NB: when the handicap is manifestly visible, note it down and go to the following question;
At most three main declared handicaps can be registered for a person suffering from several infirmities.

If the counted person does not suffer from any handicap

If the counted person suffers from one handicap:

3. Does any person(s) listed in from section A-question 2, or section B-question 3 suffer from any of the following disabilities?

You should read out the list of disabilities to the respondent as a reminder to him or her of the types of disabilities to which we are referring. Be very tactful in asking these questions so as not to cause offence or embarrassment.

If anyone does have a disability, enter the person's first name in column C1, then enter in column C2 the same serial number that you assigned to this person in column A2 or B2. A person from Part A will have a serial number 01, 02 or 03, etc., whilst a person from Part B will have a serial number 91, 92 or 93, etc.

A disabled person has incapacities as a result of physical or mental deficiencies such as bodily abnormalities, defects and impairments. Impairments are defects of structure or functions of the body which give rise to personal inabilities to perform necessary activities. The defects and impairments might occur from birth, or may be brought about by disease, injury or just old age.

Defect of Seeing: A person wearing glasses will not usually be defined as having a defect of seeing. Only if, when wearing glasses, the person cannot count the fingers of a hand from a distance of 3 metres will you record him/her as having a seeing defect. If the defect is in one eye, code 11, and, if the defect is in both eyes, code 12. If there is complete blindness in one eye enter 13; if there is blindness in both eyes enter 14.

Defect of Hearing: If a person cannot hear a whisper at a distance of 2 metres, that person is said to have a defect of hearing. If the defect is in one ear enter code 21, if both ears are affected, enter code 22. If there is complete deafness in one ear enter 23; if the deafness is in both ears enter 24.

Defect of Speech: A person who makes unintelligible speech, stammers or speaks with an abnormal voice is said to have a defect of speech. If this defect applies, enter code 31.

Inability to Speak: For a person who cannot speak at all (i.e. is completely dumb or mute), enter 32.

Inability to Use One or Both Legs: For a person who has one leg lame or a leg or foot missing enter 41; if both legs are lame or both feet/legs are missing, enter 42.

[p.43]

Inability to Use One or Both Arms: For a person who has one arm lame or a hand or arm missing enter 51; if both arms are lame or both hands/arms are missing, code 52.

Mental Retardation: A person who is capable of taking care of himself/herself but who cannot adjust to a situation needing ordinary skills consistent with age is said to be moderately retarded, and the code should be 61.

A person who, despite good physical condition, is incapable of doing normal daily self-care activities consistent with age is said to be severely mentally retarded. For this condition enter 62.

If a person suffers from a combination of any of the listed disabilities, enter the applicable codes, e.g. if there is a defect of hearing in two ears and a defect of speech enter 2231. After you have recorded the disability code(s) for a particular person, fill the remaining boxes with dashes.

The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire on page 15 is shown below.

Disability - for all residents

6.17 Do you have any permanent mental or intellectual disability that limits you in your daily activities such as working, going to school, playing, etc.?

P10. Principal nature of handicap

18. Physical/mental disability, if any:

You have to collect information in part 2 for all persons mentioned in statement 1.1 and statement 1.2 of part 1. Some of the following questions have been answered in part 1. Therefore there will be no need to ask these questions again. In such cases all you have to do is to copy the information in the appropriate column.

71. Column 18: physical/mental disability, if any

This question is a sensitive one and should be canvassed without offending the feelings of the respondent or other members of the household. The purpose of this question is to elicit the information whether the respondent has any physical/mental disability. If he/she has no such disability put (0) in column 18. The types of disabilities identified for survey purpose are given below:

71.9. The disability of a person will be decided with reference to the date of enumeration. Persons with temporary disability on the date of enumeration will not be considered as disabled. For example, a person's movement may have been restricted because of some temporary injury and she/he is likely to return to his normal state after sometime, such a person will NOT be treated as disabled.

4. Do you have any of the following characteristics?

[] 1 Total blindness
[] 2 Total deafness
[] 3 Muteness
[] 4 Paralyzed or injured
[] 5 Mental deficiency

20. Do you have any of the following disabilities?

28. Does the person have any of these limitations?

28. Does [the respondent] have any of these limitations?

The objective of this question is to determine the number of persons with permanent limitations in the functioning of their sensory, locomotive, and mental organs.

[Below the text is a form.]

Read each of the alternatives and mark all those that in which the interviewed person answers affirmatively.

If a person answers that they have no limitations or mention something that is not included in the list, mark "none of the previous".

The option "paralysis or absence of superior members" is marked when a person is missing fingers or has lost movement of them. Also when the problem affects the hand completely, the arm or the forearm. In a similar manner, "paralysis or absence of inferior members" when the members affected are the feet or legs.

8. Does ____ have any permanent disability, such as

Question 8: Disability

The objective of this question is estimating the population of the country that presents any type of permanent deficiency that can be a disability to the person, making it hard to fulfill daily activities in an independent manner; and in this way to guide the programs of attention to these persons.

[To the right of the text is a form.]

Deficiencies can be by origin: congenital (since birth) or acquired (by sickness or accident).

Mark with "X" only one of the deficiencies, the most important, according to the situation of the person.

The most common deficiencies are:

1. Partial or total blindness: Consists of the partial or total loss of visual capability. Include: blind or cannot see in one or both eyes. Among the most frequent causes are: cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes, German measles, squint or others. Exclude: persons who can correct their deficiencies with glasses or contact lenses.

[Below the text is a picture of a blind man.]

2. Partial or total deafness: consists of the partial or total loss of aural capacity. Include: deaf persons of one or both ears, such as any person who has permanent difficulty in hearing or wears a hearing aid. Exclude: persons with temporary hearing problems.

[Below the text is a picture of a deaf man.]

3. Mental retardation: Mental retardation is characterized by significant difficulty in intellectual functioning and for learning (concepts and intellectual practices). Include: persons with Downs Syndrome (previously called mongolism) and all known grades of mental retardation. Exclude: persons with learning problems such as: dyslexia, attention deficit (lack of concentration and attention), others.

4. Paralysis, amputation: Understood as the loss, paralysis or difficulty of functioning or mobility of one of many parts of the body (foot, leg, hand, arm), or both, in some cases fingers. Include: persons with cerebral paralysis, with physical difficulties by polio, severe arthritis, by amputations, congenital physical malformations, such as persons with involuntary movements, like Parkinson's disease. Exclude: cases of muscular, head or back pain, rheumatism, tiredness, or temporary fractures.

[Below the text is a picture of two handicapped persons.]

[p. 63]

5. Mental illness: take into account all mental diseases that cause serious problems of adaptation and social behavior in persons. Include: severe psychiatric problems like psychosis, schizophrenia, neurosis, dementia, permanent depression, that makes it difficult to lead a life considered "normal". Exclude: persons affected by temporary depression, stress or other transitory states of mind, known popularly as suffering from "nerves".

6. Others: are those deficiencies by losses, scarcities or anomalies that are not included in the previous deficiencies. Include: chronic obstructive lung disease (EPOC), other lung insufficiencies, cystic fibrosis, harelip, hemophiliacs, mutes, epilepsy, among others. Exclude: any other common suffering or disease such as hypertension, ulcers, emphysema, bronchitis, diabetes, whenever they have caused consequences that are classified in previous categories.

7. None: are cases in which the person claims to not have any permanent deficiency.

12. Does [name] have a permanent limitation...? (You can mark multiple options)

This question is asked of all the habitual residents of the household. In the case of the babies, it should be considered that they do not have permanent limitations if there is no medical opinion that indicates otherwise.

As can be observed in this question you can mark various responses that refer to the following permanent limitations.

Intellectually (retarded, Down's syndrome, other): this includes people with problems with their mental functions that affect that intellectual development.

The person is asked if he has any of the disabilities found in the question. The alternatives are read and the corresponding circles are filled in.

Read to the interviewee each option and fill in the answer every time the person says "YES". If the person answers "None", fill in the corresponding bubble and then skip to question 37.
If the person said another disability different than the ones previously read, fill in the bubble with "other disability".

34. Does [the respondent] have permanent difficulty with any of the following?

• Does [the respondent] have permanent difficulty seeing, even though he/she uses glasses?
• Does [the respondent] have permanent difficulty hearing, even though he/she uses a hearing aid?
• Does [the respondent] have permanent difficult walking or climbing stairs?
• And so on, until all questions are asked.

9. The disability of [the respondent] is:

Step 10: Section 4, information about the Population / B: General Characteristics, is divided into three parts: The first part corresponds to the questions that go from question one to ten.

[A copy of part of section 4B of the census questionnaire is omitted here.]

Tips:

• Follow the sequential order of the questions.

• Pay attention to the instructions that are indicated in questions 3 and 9.
• In question 7, do not include the insurance of the IESS.

• The disabilities are of permanent nature and that prevent him/her from doing activities that other people would do without difficulty. If any person mentions that his/her hip hurts, that he/she has to use glasses because he/she no longer sees well, or that he/she must use an apparatus to hear because he/she no longer hears well, these will not be registered as disabilities.
• If a person does not speak (mute person), register alternative 4 and note it in observations.

11. If yes, what is [the respondent]'s type of difficulty or problem?

For each household members that are identified as disabled or having mental problem under question 10, type of disability or problem should be identified and the correct code should be marked for this question. Enumerators should mark a correct response for those identified as disabled or having mental problem by associating the type of disability mentioned by respondents with the explanations given below.

List of the Type of Disability or Problem is provided below

P18. Disability (answer for all persons).

Does (name) have any serious disability that limits his/her full participation in some life activities (such as mobility, work, social life, etc.?)

Persons with disabilities are defined as those who are unable to or are restricted in the performance of specific tasks/activities due to loss of function of any part of the body as a result of impairment or malformation. Examples are persons with visual/sight impairment, hearing impairment, mental retardation, emotional or behavioral disorders and physically challenged persons. A disability could be partial or total, sensory or physical and an individual may suffer from one or more disabilities. A person is considered disabled if despite the use of assistive device or supportive environment (such as eye glasses and hearing aids), the limitation/restriction cannot be improved.

Note that for each of the categories (i.e. a - g), there should be either a 'yes' or 'no' response.

For all individuals

8. Disability

Question 8: disability

1. How to formulate the question

Do you have any physical or mental impediment, congenital or by another cause?

The following definition will help the enumerator investigate the question:

Disabled person: The person whose physical or mental well-being is temporarily or permanently disturbed, either from birth or during life because of illness or any type of accident.

2. How to record the data

One or more of the numbers corresponding to categories in the census form are circled.

If the enumerated person does not have a physical or mental disability, number "1. no disability" is circled.

3. Example:

[These instructions refer to a graphic of question 8 of the census form]

7. Disability

The first seven questions sets in this section refer to family relationship, age, sex, current marital status, ethnic group, death of mother and disability.

Questions 8-12 refer to the person's migration and ethnic characteristics. Only questions 11 and 12 are for persons aged three and older.

Questions 13-15 refer to literacy, level of education and attendance at school and are intended for persons aged seven and older.

The four following questions (16-19) refer to the person's type of economic activity, principal employment, branch of activity, and occupational category. They are also intended for persons aged seven and older.

The last five questions (20-24) cover fertility, and are intended only for females aged 12 and older.

The housing form has enough space to record a maximum of ten person, and so the section is repeated an equal number of times. The information about each person who spends the night in the homeless shelter should be written in the same order as they were listed in section V, "list of persons."

If the homeless shelter has more than ten persons, use an additional form.

Section VII is designed to allow you to record the complete information about one person. Write the person's order number in the grid space according to the list in section V. Spell out completely the first names and complete surnames of each person.

7. Disability
Take note of the following definitions before you begin asking the questions in this question set.

A disability is the difficulty some people have in hearing, seeing, speaking, learning, and moving as others do. It may be from birth, illness, or any type of accident.

[A graphic of box 7 "disability," is reproduced on the left-hand side of the page.]

Ask the respondent, "Is this person disabled" or "is this person blind, deaf, or mute, or does he/she have a mental disability?"

Note that there are more likely to be persons with disabilities among this population. Make sure you enumerate them!

41. Do you difficulties in remembering or concentrating?

2. Instructions for answering questions
A wide variety of questions can help us learn about the country's residents' level of functioning and ability to cope in their daily life. In the population census survey we examine these issues through questions about the level of difficulty a person experiences when performing different activities.
Each question in this part is separate from the others and does not depend on the other questions. Therefore, each question is asked regardless of the answer received for the previous question.
a. The introduction
An introduction sentence appears before the questions, explaining the framework within which the questions are asked. The introduction presents the subject of the questions and explains the type of difficulties that should be addressed. The introduction is read out once and refers to the series of questions that follows.
In the questions, you should refer to difficulties which are the result of a health, physical or mental problem, lasting six months or more. This time frame was determined in order to focus on long-term and permanent difficulties and avoid collecting data on temporary difficulties, such as a person who broke his leg but will fully recover within a short time.

Question 5.30 - Do you experience any difficulty in remembering things or concentrating?

3.8. Does this limit your / [the respondent's] activities compared with most people of the same age?

3.9. What type of disability of impairment do you / does [the respondent] have?

5.43 Question 3.7-3.10 General
These questions seek to determine whether the respondent has a physical or mental disability. In order to set the respondent at ease before asking these questions which might be seen as sensitive, begin by saying: "Now I would like to ask you some questions about any difficulty which you (or other members of the household) might have in carrying out every day activities due to mental or physical problems."

Disability - is defined as any restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. Such restriction or lack of ability must be as a result of an impairment. A person has an impairment if he or she has suffered any loss or abnormality of mind or body.

5.44 Question 3.9 Type of Disability
The categories are for the most part self-explanatory.

Physical Disability only - score this if the person's only impairment is the loss of use of parts of the body e.g. arms, legs.

Multiple Disability - score this for any combination of impairments.

Slowness at Learning or Understanding - score this only for persons who have been medically tested and found to be 'slow'.

Mental Retardation - it is very important to distinguish between mental retardation and mental illness. Mental Retardation exists where the person is born with a mental problem. Score this where it has been determined that the disease is one with which the person was born.

Mental Illness - is an illness acquired after birth.

P-37. What type of disability does [person] have?

Columns P37 to P38 contain questions pertaining to disabilities. These questions are to be asked of the head of the household or any other responsible person.

32.1 Introduction

Questions regarding disabilities have to be asked very carefully and with caution. You should not ask "Do you have a disability, or are you disabled, or are you blind, or deaf" nor "are you lame?'. This will generate very low rates of response because you will not get the correct answer. The word "disability" is regarded negatively in most communities particularly in developing countries. People may feel stigmatized or be ashamed to be identified as having a disability. In some cultures, disability is seen as punishment for sins committed in previous lives.
Also, even if people do not feel stigmatized, the word "disability" often implies a very significant condition. Persons who can walk around their homes but are unable to walk to the market may perceive their situation as not severe enough to be considered as having a disability.
Disability is interpreted relative to what is considered normal functioning (or different). This may vary across various cultures, age groups, or social class.

32.2 Definition of disability

The Disability Act 2003 defines disability as: physical, sensory, mental, or other impairment, including a visual, hearing or physical disability, which has a substantial long term adverse effect on a person's ability to carry out usual day to day activities. Disability is, therefore, viewed as a physical, mental, or psychological condition or impairment that substantially affects a person's daily activities or limits a person's ability to perform one or more basic life activities (referred to as activities of daily life? ADL) such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, earning a living, or working and interacting with other persons.
In this context, activities refer to a wide range of deliberate actions performed by an individual as opposed to particular body functions or structures. These are basic deliberate actions undertaken in order to accomplish a task such as dressing or feeding oneself.
In the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census we will classify one as having a disability if they have any of the following: visual, hearing and speech impairment; physical, mental and other disabilities, and self?care difficulties.

32.3 Types of disabilities

P-37. What type of disability does [person] have?

Columns P37 to P38 contain questions pertaining to disabilities. These questions are to be asked of the head of the household or any other responsible person.

32.1 Introduction

Questions regarding disabilities have to be asked very carefully and with caution. You should not ask "Do you have a disability, or are you disabled, or are you blind, or deaf" nor "are you lame?'. This will generate very low rates of response because you will not get the correct answer. The word "disability" is regarded negatively in most communities particularly in developing countries. People may feel stigmatized or be ashamed to be identified as having a disability. In some cultures, disability is seen as punishment for sins committed in previous lives.
Also, even if people do not feel stigmatized, the word "disability" often implies a very significant condition. Persons who can walk around their homes but are unable to walk to the market may perceive their situation as not severe enough to be considered as having a disability.
Disability is interpreted relative to what is considered normal functioning (or different). This may vary across various cultures, age groups, or social class.

Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.

[Figure omitted: image with text]

For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.

Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.

10. Disability
This question identifies the degree of difficulty people have in performing some activities in their daily lives, such as seeing, hearing, walking, remembering or concentrating, providing self-care, speaking, or communicating. Also, if they have any mental problems or conditions.

The question consists of two parts. The first part asks about the degree of difficulty in six activities of daily living. The second part identifies people who have a mental problem or condition.

[p. 309]

[Figure omitted: image with text]

To ask these questions, consider the following:

For all members of the household, specify the degree of difficulty the person has in
[Questions 16 to 21 were asked of all household members]

19. Remembering or focusing

9. Does (the person) have any disability?

[Question 6 through 36 were asked to the residents]

9. Does [the person] have any disability?

This is a very delicate question. Some people do not like to talk about their or their relatives' disabilities, especially if it concerns the minors. For that reason you should try and be gentle when asking that question.

Consider as a disability any of the following: blindness, deafness, amputated/atrophied arm(s) or leg(s), paralysis, mental and others.

If the respondent does not have any disability, write an X in box number 1 and go to P11. If they have any physical disability, write an X in the box that corresponds to the kind of disability.

This question admits more than one response. This means that if the respondent has an amputated arm and is blind, you should mark an X in the boxes that correspond to numbers 2 and 5.

9. Disability: does [the respondent] have any difficulty...?

137. Disability serves as an umbrella term for impairments, activity limitations or participation restrictions (ICF, 2005). While it is desirable to collect information on all aspects of disability, this aim cannot be achieved in censuses or even in surveys not dedicated to disability. However, tge census can be used to obtain data on selected aspects of disability.

138. Disability can be measured for a variety of purposes. Each purpose can be related to different dimensions of disability or different conceptual components of disability. Hence, there is a need for a clear link between the purpose of measurement and the operationalization of the indicators of disability.

139. In order to collect disability information, the questions to identify persons who are at greater risk than the general population of experiencing restrictions in performing complex activities (such as activities of daily living) or participating in roles (such as working) if no support were accorded to them. Measurements intended to identify this 'at risk' population represent the most basic end of the spectrum of activities (i.e. activities such as walking, remembering, seeing, hearing). This 'at risk' group would include persons with limitations in basic activities who may or may not also experience limitations in more complex activities and/or restrictions in participation. This in turn may depend on whether or not they use assistive devices or have a supportive environment.

140. The questions on disability ask about difficulties the person may have when doing certain activities, because of a health or other problem.

144. Ask "does [the respondent] have difficulty remembering or concentrating or learning?"

[12] What is the physical and mental disability of [the respondent]?

Column 12: is there any kind of physical or mental disability in [the respondent]?

This question has been put to record information on physical and mental condition of each person to be enumerated. Some people might have one type of different types of physical or mental problem (disability) or do not have any kind of disability. At the time of enumeration, there might be members with disability in a family. While enumerating disabled persons, this should be done at their usual living place.

Definition of disability: Disability is the condition that creates problems in running daily activities normally and full participation in social life due to problems in body parts and physical system of a person, coupled with activity limitations and participation restrictions in the physical, social, and cultural environment, as well as communication. For the purpose of enumeration, different types of disabilities have been divided into eight different categories as above. In order to understand whether a person has disability or not, the following description has be illustrated.

1. No disability - At the time of enumeration, if a person has no disabilities, circle the reference 1 to indicate it.

2. Physical disability: A physical disability is a limitation on a person's physical functioning, mobility, dexterity, or stamina due to various problems in the structure and movement of spinal curve, muscle, joints, and bones. E.g. (of body parts) - if there are weak, thin, and deformed hand/leg, bending body or any kind of impairments that restricts the general movement of these body parts, such condition should be understood as physical disability. For example: The disabilities caused by polio, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, loss of physical organs, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, club feet, rickets, bone deformities, etc. are physical disabilities. Short heights also fall under physical disability. If a person has any of the above stated physical disability, circle the reference 2.

3. Vision disability: Generally if a person has problems in seeing things clearly around him/her, sees the things blurry, or cannot see at all, it is vision disability. In other words, if a person does not have clear knowledge about an object's picture, size, types, and color due to vision impairment, it is vision disability. Vision disability has two types - (a) Blindness, and (b) Low vision.

If a person has any type of vision disability stated above (blindness and low vision), circle the reference 3.

4. Hearing disability: The problems of a person in the structure of hearing organs, identification of voice, its distance and location, loudness and quality is the hearing disability. Hearing disability are of two kinds - (a) Deaf and (b) Low hearing.

If any person has the hearing problems stated above, circle the reference 4.

NB: Generally the person who cannot speak or his/her spoken voice is unclear is call dumb. But actually, they are low hearing people. Such person generally cannot hear clearly. But all the people who cannot hear would not be dumb. If a person cannot speak clearly or the spoken voice is unclear and are unable to hear, circle the reference 4.

5. Deaf and blind: The person having both problems of deaf and blind is considered with deaf and blind disability. If there is a person with such problem in the family, circle reference 5.

6. Speech related disability: The person who has difficulty in speaking, unclear voice, has problem of repeating words or letters while speaking due to the uneasiness in the speech related organs is the person with speech related disability. If a person has speech related disability, circle the reference 6. The person with cleft lips or palate is also counted under speech related disability.

7. Mental disability: Mental disability is a kind of illness. This illness may appear to a person at any age or situation due to failure, distress, or depression. It does not come with birth and can be healed with treatment. A person who has difficulty in daily living due to mental illness or distress should be understood as a person with mental disability. If a person has such problem, circle the reference 7.

8. Intellectual disability: The condition which creates problems or limitations to perform age or environment appropriate intellectual activities due to lack of intellectual development before the age of 18 should be understood as intellectual disability or mentally retarded problem. Intellectual disability is not a disease, it is a state. It might come along with birth. In simple words, the state where required help of others for daily activities of life (e.g. for eating, dressing, going to toilet, care, etc.) or has low memory power (quick forgetting) or slow in learning as per the age should be understood as mentally retarded. Similarly, persons with no sign of adaptive behaviors along with the age development, showing unusual reaction, repeating the same activity or unable to be close to other persons or acute mental illness, autism are also come under intellectual disability and to indicate the status of such person, circle the reference 8.

9. Multiple disabilities: If a person has two or more than two disability problems among the above stated disabilities from 2 to 8, circle the reference 9.

5. What type of physical or mental impediment do you have?

Ask this question if, on the list of occupants of the dwelling (Chapter IV), the name of the person who has the circle number 1 marked (Yes) in question 4 (disability). In the case to the contrary, mark circle 8, None.

7. What type of physical or mental disability do you have?

Question No. 7: What type of physical or mental impediment do you have? (Mark the most serious)
[For persons who stated they have any mental or physical disability in question 4.]
This question is asked in order to capture the population that suffers from some type of physical or mental impediment, which prevents them to function normally.
[p. 142]
Disability: Any restriction or lack (due to impairment) of ability to perform an activity in a way or within a range considered as normal for a human being.
Ask this question, if in the list of occupants (Chapter IV), the name of a person has been marked with circle 1 in question 4, otherwise mark circle 8 "None".

Question No. 5: Do you have any of the following disabilities:
Read the question and each one of the options. Then, circle one or more numbers, based on the informant's answers.
[There is a picture of question 5 in this section of the Enumeration Form.]
If the informant reports having a physical handicap that is not included in any of the alternatives, you should circle number 9 (Other) and write it on the corresponding line.
If the informant reports not having any handicap, circle number 0.

Population aged 1 year or older.
[Question B21 through B26 were asked of all resident persons age 1 or older.]

B21-B26. The following questions pertain to difficulties which you may have in carrying out certain activities due to a health problem.

B21/26: set of short questions on disability recommended for the censuses (population aged 1 year and over)
The questions about disability issues have been greatly altered in relation to what previous censuses proposed. It is about Senegal aligning itself with the progress made in this area. The United Nations, through their experts on global statistics, created in the 2000s a group of experts, the Washington group, which developed a series of short questions for censuses and surveys according to the Basic Principles of Official Statistics. These questions identify the majority of those most at risk in the general population who have limited or restricted participation in public life. It is not a question of identifying the handicap or the cause of disability, the question is to identify the limitations of the respondent (and/or one of his or her family members) to have/potentially have difficulty in performing actions linked to their lifestyle and related functions: seeing, hearing, walking, having cognitive faculty, taking care of themselves, and communicating. These are the areas the questions included in the census questionnaire concern.
The questions to ask relate to the difficulties that the respondent or a family member may have in fulfilling certain tasks in a sustainable manner (6 months or more, in a recurring manner):

Each question has four response categories:

The severity scale is used in the response categories to identify the full range of functional domains ranging from the most benign to the most severe form. This is very important because we will have a full range of the respondent's capabilities.
NB: This question concerns the population aged at least 1 year.
On the PDA, you will choose the answer on a drop-down list.

105. It is absolutely important that this information is collected as accurately as possible, which means that the question applies to everybody in the household. You must be particularly careful to distinguish between actual disability and other forms of illnesses.

106. For example, you may be told that a member of the household has had tuberculosis or has been suffering from backache or stomach pains for a very long time. These are not disabilities for the purpose of these questions. It may be necessary to see the persons who have been reported as being disabled. This

108. Ask, "Is [the respondent] disabled?" If the answer is "Yes", ask the second question relating to the type of disability (question P16) before you make any entry. If you are satisfied that the type of disability falls within our prescribed category, you can then fill in P15 and P16. This is necessary to avoid messing up the questionnaire.

P16 -- Type of disability
109. Ask for the type of disability and record the appropriate code refer to the code list). For example, "Limited use of legs" is 01, "Loss of legs" is 02, etc.

Columns (P01) to (P20) -- These should provide particulars of all persons who slept in the household on census night. The questions therefore apply to all persons irrespective of age or sex, except P13 which applies to persons 5 years and above.

Columns (P15 to P19) disability
120. It is absolutely important that this information is collected as accurately as possible. These questions apply to everybody in the household. You must be particularly careful to distinguish between actual disability and other forms of illnesses.

121. For example, you may be told that a member of the household has had tuberculosis or has been suffering from backache or stomach pains for a very long time. These are not disabilities for the purpose of these questions. It may be necessary to see the persons who have been reported as being disabled. This will give you an opportunity to determine whether the person(s) is/are disabled according to the specifications below.

122. Somebody is disabled if he/she is blind, crippled, deaf, dumb, mentally retarded, lost limb(s), speech impaired, is an albino, etc.

P15 -- Person disabled?
123. Ask, 'Does (name) suffer from any form of disability?' If the answer is 'Yes' ask the second question relating to the main type of disability in (P16) and the second type if any in P17. Before you make any entry be sure that you are satisfied that the type of disability falls within the prescribed categories.

The main objective of this section is to obtain information on the prevalence of certain types of disabilities among the population. This information can be utilized for monitoring and evaluating national programmes and services concerning the equalization of opportunity, rehabilitation and the prevention of disabilities.

Further, the information would assist in identifying the special needs of persons with disabilities, such as access to buildings, educational reform, training enhancement and employment opportunities.

Question 12 - Longstanding disability

Disability is defined as any restriction or lack of ability (resulting from an impairment) to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered to be normal for a human being.

For the purpose of the census, a disability is only a disability if it has a long lasting continuing consequence, that is, it is a disability provided it has lasted for at least six months or is expected to last for more than six months. Temporary conditions such as broken legs and other illnesses even though they may have restricted one's activities are not to be included.

This question is to be asked about every member of the family, regardless of age or current activity status.

[p.36]

The response positions for this question are:

If the response is 1 go to question 13.

If 2 or 9 skip to question 14.

Question 13 - Type of disability

Multiple responses can be ticked.

If the other category is ticked, please specify

13(b). Disability status

3.1. Disability

Persons with disabilities are defined here as those persons who are at greater risk than the general population for experiencing restrictions in performing specific tasks or participating in role activities.

[p.12]

Data about impairments (problems at the level of organs and anatomical structures) is different from data about activity limitations (limitations on the capacity of a person to act or behave in a desired manner, because of a health condition), which again is different from data about participation restrictions (limitations in what a person does that result from an interaction between impairments or activity limitations and barriers created by the person's environment).

Short-term disabilities due to temporary conditions such as broken legs and illness are excluded. Only disabilities lasting for at least six months or expected to last for more than six (6) months are to be included.

The following categories focus on whether the individual has any impairments:

Participation restrictions are problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations. A participation restriction can be determined by comparing an individual's normal and regular involvement in activities with that expected of an individual without a disability.

The following categories focus on whether the individual has any participation/activity limitations:

Physical disability

20. Visible physical disability, mental disorder or psychological defect, if any

Ask those who answer "Yes" to question 20.
[Questions 21-22 were asked of those who had physical disability, as per question 20.]

21. Nature of disability

Handicap status (20-22)

Question 21: Type of handicap you have?

21. What kind of disability do you have?

P13 Disability Does (name) have any difficulty in moving, seeing, hearing, speaking or learning, which has lasted or is expected to last 6 months or more? (If No write 10 and skip to P16, if Yes write codes for at most 2 mayor difficulties) ___ ___

Disability
115. A person with a disability is defined as one who is limited in the kind of or amount of activities that he or she can do, because of ongoing difficulty (-ies) due to a long-term physical condition or health problem that has lasted six months or more. This includes all those difficulties that are expected to last more than six months.
116. Note that a person can have a fractured arm or leg due to a road accident and is expected to heal within three months. For purposes of the census, you should not record this person to have a difficulty since the difficulty is expected to last for a shorter period.
117. There are some clear cases of disability such as having lost a leg, or being crippled by polio that one cannot walk normally, or being mad. However, there are also many cases where it is not so clear. In such cases, common sense must be your guide. If the respondent indicates that the condition is not so serious as to prevent a person from living a full life, it should not be counted as a disability.
118. If a person has lost an arm, he or she is disabled. A person who has lost the tip of a finger in an accident should not be considered as disabled. In the same way a person whose sight is impaired but can live and work normally by wearing glasses while doing so is not disabled for purposes of the census.
Question P13: Disability
Ask, "Does (name) have any difficulty in moving, seeing, hearing, speaking difficulty, mental or learning difficulty, which has lasted or is expected to last 6 months or more?"
119. If the respondent declares anyone in the Household as disabled, use the codes in the questionnaire and describe the nature of the disability as best as you can. Some persons with disabilities have more than one type of disability. In this case you are required to take the two major forms of disability and assign the appropriate codes in the space provided. Note that the column for each person takes care of two types of disabilities.
120. It is quite common for persons in the Household to hide information about disabilities of their kin, especially the children. Ensure that you attempt to see and probe to obtain the truth.
121. Examples of such categories of persons include, those who have

• Seeing difficulties: an individual could have a sight problem if he/she cannot see clearly objects that are close to him/her or is unable to figure out objects, which are at a distance. Note that if one wears glasses and ceases to have a problem with sight, then he/ she does not qualify to be recorded as having any seeing difficulties. A separate code for "Blindness" is provided for persons who cannot see at all. If a person has lost one eye, this does not automatically imply that he has a sight problem. Ask the respondent to find out if he/she has a sight difficulty and assign the appropriate code.
• Hearing difficulties: This includes those who have difficulty in hearing i.e. not following a conversation in a normal voice even with use of a hearing aid. In case an individual has a hearing aid and is able to follow a conversation in a normal voice, then she/he does not have a hearing difficulty. A separate code for unable to hear (deaf) is included for those who cannot hear at all.
• Speech impairment: Includes persons with problems of speech, even though they are able to hear. Those who are not able to speak at all are categorized as "Mute"
• Mental Illness (Strange Behavior): This is characterized by strange behaviors and the most common description is mad.
• Learning difficulty/Mental Retardation: This includes persons with learning difficulties in or out of school and persons mentally less developed than their age mates. They can be adults or children.
• Epilepsy: This is a condition where a person has episodes of loss or change of consciousness that may last from a few seconds to over an hour. The loss of consciousness is sometimes accompanied by movement of body parts. The loss of consciousness is also called fit. Epilepsy fits are NOT accompanied by fever.
• Rheumatism: This is of when the joints of a body are swollen, hot and painful. It is often accompanied by limited movement of the joint.

For all persons

P17 Does [the respondent] have difficulty in remembering or concentrating? (Refer to code list P14-P17)

18.

a) Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does this person have serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions?

18a-18c. Mark the "Yes" or "No" box to indicate if the person has serious difficulty with any of the activities listed in parts a, b, and c because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition.

Answer question 19a-c if this person is 5 years old or over. Otherwise skip to the questions for Person 2 on page 19.

P19. Mark the "Yes" or "No" box to indicate if the person has serious difficulty with any of the activities listed in parts a, b, and c because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition.

The following questions deal with the permanent difficulties that the people can have with carrying out certain habitual activities due to a health problem.

43. Respond to the following questions:

Does [the respondent] have permanent difficulty with:

43.4 Understanding and/or learning (PerDi05)
(For people 6 years or older)

The objective of this module is to know the number of people that have some permanent difficulty seeing, hearing, walking, or learning, as well as the level of severity.

Disability is any limitation of activity and restriction in participation coming from a deficiency that permanently affects a person and his or her ability to become involved in daily life within his or her physical and social environment.

• Activity is the completion of a task or action by a person.
• Limitation of activity refers to the difficulty that a person could have in carrying out or performing daily activities and that originates in a deficiency (for example: seeing, hearing, walking, learning, etc.).
• Restriction of participation refers to the problems that a person can experience when involved in vital situations, originating in a deficiency.  For example with work, with learning, with recreation, etc.
• Deficiency refers to problems with body functions or structures, such as a significant alteration or loss.

In order to consider that a person has a determined disability, the limitation of activity and the restriction of participation should be permanent and always originating from a deficiency, this referring to the field of health.  This means that limitations and restrictions originating from socioeconomic or cultural factors.

The deficiencies, that should be part of or express a state of health, can include abnormalities, defects, losses, or any other deviation of body structures.  They don't necessarily indicate that the individual has a sickness or should be considered sick.  For example, the loss of a leg is a deficiency but not a disorder or a sickness.

Important: The difficulty or limitation of activity must be current, in other words, it must be affecting the individual at the moment of the investigation, and permanent, that's to say long lasting in time, affecting and expected to affect for a period of time greater than a year.

[p. 111]

Consequently, the short-term difficulties due to temporary, or transitory conditions such as fractures or sicknesses (for example, he or she does not walk because the leg is fractured and in a cast, he or she does not speak because of a sharp hoarseness caused by a cold, etc.) are excluded.

The options of response for the questions of the module are the following.

• Yes, some difficulty
• Yes, much difficulty
• Yes, he/she cannot do it (see, hear, walk, learn)
• Doesn't have any difficulty

Does he/she have permanent difficulty with understanding and/or learning?

For people six years or older.

This refers to the people with difficulty learning, understanding, memorizing, reproducing, or executing operations or reading, writing, or calculating.

In case of an affirmative response, consult about the level of said difficulty and record the option that corresponds.

10. Do you have any of the following disabilities?

Part 1: Information about members of the household
Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.

The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.

Question 13: Does [the respondent] have any difficulty when [...]?
This question is intended to gather information about difficulties a person may encounter in performing certain activities due to health problems/long term health problems, including difficulties due to the effects of old age, but does not include difficulties due to the children being young or not yet proficient in taking care of themselves (help from adults).

DTV asks about the conditions and level of difficulty of each person and in turn according to each ability, including vision, hearing, walking up the stairs, memory, self-care, and communication. Therein:

b. Deaf/ Dumb

c. Crippled

d. Mentally retarded

You are about to start a rather sensitive topic. Prepare the respondent by telling him/her that you are now going to start asking questions on disability.
A person with a disability is defined as a person who is limited in the kind or amount of activities that he or she can do because of the ongoing difficulties due to a long term physical condition, mental condition or health problem. Short term disabilities due to temporary conditions such as broken legs and illness are excluded. Only disabilities lasting for more than six months should be included.

P15 Are You Disabled in any Way?
Find out whether this person is disabled and shade appropriately. If the respondent is not disabled, skip to P18.

P16 What is Your Disability?
Find out what disability the person has and shade appropriately. Also note that a person may have more than one disability. Shade all disabilities reported.

5.4.1 Types of Disability

You are about to start a rather sensitive topic. Prepare the respondent by telling him/her that you are now going to start asking questions on disability.

A person with a disability is defined as a person who is limited in the kind or amount of activities that he or she can do because of the ongoing difficulties due to a long term physical condition, mental condition or health problem. Remember that people who have just become amputees should be included as disabled. Short term disabilities due to temporary conditions such as broken legs and illness are excluded.

P-17: What is [the respondent's] disability?

Find out whether this person has difficult in the following and shade appropriately. Also note that a person may have more than one disability. Shade all disabilities reported (multiple responses are allowed).

4.12.1 Type of disability

Q14 Disability
The intention here is to capture data pertaining to disability of a moderate to severe nature. The question should be asked to all persons.
Definitions:

Example:

Because there is no adequate transport, buildings are not accessible and potential employers do not wish to employ someone with a disability.

In Zimbabwe, the terms disability, impairment and handicap have been used interchangeably to refer to persons with disabilities. Reference has been made to children who are mentally handicapped, people who have visual impairment or people who are physically disabled. To the users, the meaning is only an exercise in semantics.

Classification of disability for Purposes of identification
Disability is difficult because it is not a well-defined condition. Different countries have used different definitions and census methodologies to come up with estimates of prevalence rates.
Developed countries have counted even those with minor disabilities as disabled while developing countries have only counted those that have moderate to severe conditions that need rehabilitation intervention. These are people whose conditions permanently prevent them from performing activities in a manner considered normal for human beings. A person may have minor impairment (e.g. amputation of two toes) but functions normally. Such a person is not considered disabled.

When identifying people with disabilities, the difficulties that they may have as a result of their conditions are classified as follows by World Health Organization:

For the 2012 Census, Zimbabwe will classify people with moderate to severe disabilities according to the same categories.
