[] 3 Yes, some difficulty
[] 4 No, no difficulty
Individual particulars
[This section except for questions 6 and 8 are to be completed by all persons]
[Questions 17-22 of this section are to be answered by persons aged 5 years and older]
17. Functional difficulty
17.3 Do you have difficulty walking or climbing step?
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.
Walking or going up steps: this includes the people that present permanent difficulties walking from one place to another, inside or outside the dwelling, or going up steps in a dwelling, buildings, or means of transportation. This excludes: the people with temporary injuries or burns that are found in rehabilitation and could recover.
Moving or walking
[] 2 No
40. Do you have difficulties walking in your home or going up and down stairs?
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 5.20 - Do you experience any difficulty in walking inside house, or going up and down stairs?
Do you have any difficulty with the following activities?
Q13: Difficulties in walking or movement:
Refers to people who cannot walk or have difficulties walking/moving from one place to another.
P13. Does [the respondent] have difficulty or problems in the following? If yes, what are the causes?
[] 1 Seeing
[] 2 Hearing
[] 3 Speaking
[] 4 Walking / climbing
[] 8 Other
[] 2 Disease / illness
[] 3 Injury / accident
[] 4 Not known
[] 8 Other
P13. Type and causes of disability
Ask the respondents whether there any members of the household who should be classified as disabled. In this case, disability refers to physical or mental handicap, which inhibits an individual's ability to work or participate in normal activities. Furthermore, the enumerator should ask for the causes of disability.
If the person has multiple disabilities and the first to be mentioned is "1" in the first row, ask for the cause and shade the appropriate code in the first row under cause. If the disability to be mentioned second is "Walking", shade 4 in the second row, ask for the cause and shade it in the second row under cause.
Note: The enumerator should probe the type of disability in order not to confuse with current illness.

[Questions 16 to 21 were asked of all household members]
18. Waling or climbing stairs
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.
143. Ask "does [the respondent] have difficulty walking or climbing steps or lifting objects or gripping?"
6. Health limitations
[] 2 No
Question No. 6: Health limitations
This question has no relation to question 4 (anyone in this household has any physical or mental disability?) in Chapter IV, list of occupants.
The purpose of this question is to know the living conditions of people with permanent limitations to do their daily activities, i.e. to know if these limitations are due to problems in different functions or structures of their bodies. It is also aimed at determining the amount of limitations found in activities that a person actually does, as opposed to the activities she would like to do or can do, but she does not because of various personal or environmental reasons.
Limitations to do an activity: this means, having difficulty with an activity that involves:
Discomfort or pain when doing the activity
Slowness in doing the activity
Changes in the way of doing the activity
With this question we want to establish if the respondent has any limitation.
If the respondent answers "Yes", mark circle 1.
If the answer is "No" mark circle 2.
Notice that a limitation could be:
[p. 139]
c. Extreme / cannot do it or very severe disability, either total or absolute: such as blindness, deafness, paralysis, among others. The symptoms, signs or consequences prevent them to conduct activities of daily living.
Read slowly the alternatives and mark the corresponding circle, according to the responses given by the respondents, being those yes or no.
You should remember that:
b. Do you have difficulty viewing, even when you wear glasses?: Refers to people with serious and important problems of vision, whether near or long distance vision, or problems to sense the presence of light, so they see blurry or see shades, even with glasses or lenses, whatever the cause.
c. Do you have difficulty walking or moving permanently?: Refers to difficulty standing or walking for long periods of time (greater than or equal to 30 minutes) or long distances. They include people with difficulties in maintaining and changing body parts in different positions, or prostrate people with no possibility of movement in their own bed. It also includes getting up, lying down and standing up, in the case of people with major difficulties in making and maintaining those positions. Example: people with paralysis of the four limbs (tetra or quadriplegia); elderly or, that situation that requires them to be in bed due to a deficiency of mobility (extreme obesity).
[p. 140]
They [those using wheelchairs and those walking with difficulties] have different degrees of autonomy; some can climb up some steps; some just use a wheelchair to get around, for short periods or permanently. However, they are considered disabled because there are activities that they cannot do, even with technical assistance.]
d. Do you have any permanent difficulty using your arms and / or hands?: It refers to the difficulty of moving the upper limbs (arms and hands) that generates limitation to grab.
e. Do you have any permanent difficulty speaking or communicating?: Refers to severe or important difficulties to pronounce words or to generate and send messages by voice. For example: people with serious language disorders produced by brain injuries, stroke, head trauma, or language disorders associated with dementia, mental retardation, cleft palate, stuttering, confusion of words, among others.
f. Do you have any permanent difficulty learning?: It refers to the difficulty of learning in a normal way, abstract content such as mathematical operations, complex concepts, retention of ideas for long periods. It involves learning, understanding, and applying what is learned, and also involves the ability to focus, read, write, solve problems and make decisions at an expected level.
[There is a sample image of the form.]
[p. 141]
Remember that all questions must have an answer, either "Yes" or "No"
Example:
The respondent stated that she listens well and sees well with lenses, she has problems with her knees and has trouble bending and walking long distances. The doctor told her that she suffers from arthritis and the disease is lifelong lasting. She has no difficulty moving her arms and hands yet. She has no problems to speak or learn, because at age 50 she began a course in English.
[There is a sample image of the form.]
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 (disability), otherwise mark circle 8 "None".
9. The following are some questions to find out if you have any permanent difficulty or limitation that prevents you from carrying out your daily activities normally. Do you have any permanent difficulty or limitation for:
Question 9: Permanent difficulty or limitation
The following are some questions to find out if you have any permanent difficulty or limitation that prevents you from carrying out your daily activities normally, do you have any permanent difficulty or limitation for:
Disability: When a person has some permanent difficulty that limits him/her in one or more of the essential activities of daily living in the manner and amount expected for their age.
Seeing, even when wearing glasses: When the person has any sensory limitation as a result of the lack or dysfunction of the organ of vision, which totally or partially restricts the perception of light and images.
Hearing, even with hearing aids: When the person has some limitation in the sense of hearing (ear), which totally or partially restricts the detection and discrimination of sounds, their localization and the differentiation of speech from other sounds.
Speaking or communicating, even using sign language or other language: When the person presents some limitation in voice and speech, or in other way that prevents him/her from communicating with others and performing daily activities.
Sign language: Sign language, or signed language, is a natural language of gesture-spatial expression and visual perception (or even tactile perception by certain people with deaf/blindness).
Moving or walking to use arms and/or legs: When the person presents some motor limitation, to grip or hold objects or to stretch the arms; in the displacement or movement to walk, move from one place to another, use stairs, bend or kneel.
Understanding or learning (concentrating and remembering): When the person has limitations to develop activities of intellectual nature, i.e., the difficulty he/she has in comprehending, retaining, understanding, analyzing and transmitting ideas. Example: people with mental retardation, brain injury, meningitis with seizures.
Relating to others based on thoughts, feelings, emotions, or behaviors: When the person presents some psychic limitation, referred to mental disorders (addictive, psychotic, anxiety and personality disorders) that make it difficult or permanently prevent him/her from relating to others based on thoughts, feelings, emotions or behaviors.
For all 5 years old and over.
[Questions P13 to P16 were asked of persons 5 years or over.]
P13. Functional difficulty
Does [the respondent] have any difficulty/problem in ...?
P13-Functional Difficulty
As defined by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization, functioning is an umbrella term for body functions, body structures, activities, and participation. It denotes the positive aspects of the interaction between an individual (with a health condition) and that individual's contextual factors (environmental and personal factors). Environmental factors include the physical world and its features, the human-made physical world, other people in different relationships and roles, attitudes and values, social systems and services, and policies, rules and laws. Personal factors are factors that relate to individual such as age, gender, social status, life experiences, and so on.
A person with difficulty in functioning may have activity limitations, which means difficulties an individual may have in executing activities. An activity limitation may range from a slight to a severe deviation in terms of quality or quantity in executing the activity in a manner or to the extent that is expected of people without the health condition. In general, functional difficulties experienced by people may have been due to their health conditions. Health conditions refer to diseases or illnesses, other health problems that may be short
or long lasting injuries, mental or emotional problems, and problems with alcohol or drugs. A health condition may also include other circumstances such as pregnancy, ageing, stress, congenital anomaly, or genetic predisposition. Difficulty is usually manifested when a person is doing an activity with increased effort, discomfort or pain, slowness, or changes in the way he/she does the activity.
[pg. 119]
For the purpose of this census, functional difficulty is classified into six core categories. The concepts and definitions are based on ICF. These difficulties are the following:
Difficulty in walking or climbing steps
18. b) Does this person have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs?
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.

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.

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.

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:

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:
43.3 Walking or going up stairs (PerDi04)
(For people 2 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.
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.
Does he/she have permanent difficulty with walking or going up stairs?
For people two years of age or older.
The purpose of this question is to detect the number of people that have limitations walking or that have difficulties with locomotion.
Just like the previous cases, it is important to formulate the whole question and only mark "yes" when the person, even with a cane, crutches, or prosthetic, has problems walking.
In case of an affirmative response, consult about the grade of the said difficulty and record the corresponding option.
11. Does [the respondent] have any difficulty:
If yes, how difficult is it? A little, very difficult, or unable.
[] 2 A little difficulty

[] 3 Very difficult
[] 4 Unable
The next questions are about difficulties a person faces when performing certain activities due to health reasons.
13. Does [the respondent] have any difficulty with:
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:
