Column 15: Physical/Mental Disability, if any

97. This question is a sensitive one and should be canvassed without offending the feelings of the respondent. The purpose of this question is to elicit the information of whether the respondent has any physical/mental disability. If he/she has no such disability put (0) in the two sub-columns. The five types of disabilities identified for census purpose are given below:

97.1 In Seeing: A person who cannot see at all (has no perception of light) or has blurred vision even with the help of glasses or contact lenses will be considered as having disability in "Seeing" or visually disabled, and Code 1 will be entered under this question. A person with proper vision only in one eye will also be treated as visually disabled. You may come across a situation where a person may have blurred vision and had no occasion to test whether his/her eye-sight would improve by using spectacles. Such persons would be treated as visually disabled.

97.2 In Speech: A person will be recorded as having speech disability if he/she is mute. Similarly, for a person whose speech is not understood by a listener of normal comprehension and hearing, he/she will be treated as having speech disability and Code 2 will be entered. Persons who stammer but whose speech is comprehensible will not be classified as disabled by speech.

97.3 In Hearing: A person who cannot hear at all (deaf) or can hear only loud sounds will be considered as having hearing disability and in such cases Code 3 will be entered. A person who is able to hear, using a hearing aid will not be considered as disabled under this category. If a person cannot hear through one ear but his/her other ear is functioning normally, he/she should be considered as having hearing disability.

97.4 In Movement: A person who lacks limbs or is unable to use the limbs normally will be considered having movement disability and Code 4 will be entered here. Absence of a part of a limb like a finger or a toe will not be considered as disability. However, absence of all the fingers or toes or a thumb will make a person disabled by movement. If any part of the body is deformed, the person will also be treated as disabled and covered under this category. A person who cannot move herself/himself or without the aid of another person or without the aid of a stick, wheelchair, etc., will be treated as disabled under this category. Similarly, a person would be

[p.36]
treated as disabled in movement if he/she is unable to move or lift or pick up any small article placed near him/her. A person who may not be able to move normally because of problems of joints like arthritis, and has to invariably limp while moving, will also be considered to have movement disability.

97.5 Mental: A person who lacks comprehension appropriate to his/her age will be considered as mentally disabled. This would not mean that if a person is not able to comprehend his/her studies appropriate to his/her age and is failing his/her quality examination is mentally disabled. Mentally retarded and insane persons would be treated as mentally disabled. A mentally disabled person may generally depend on his/her family members for performing daily routines. It should be left to the respondent to report whether the member of the household is mentally disabled and no tests are required to be applied by you to judge the member's disability.

97.6 If a person is disabled, enter only one of the five disabilities for that person, in codes, as given below:

1: In Seeing
2: In Speech
3: In Hearing
4: In Movement
5: Mental


97.7 Please note that a person may have two or more types of disability but only one of these is to be recorded. In such cases you will have to leave it to the respondent to decide as to the type of disability he/she wants the member of his/her household to be classified into. 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, when a person's movement may have been restricted because of some temporary injury and he/she is likely to return to his normal state after sometime, such a person will not be treated as disabled.

97.8 The code has to be given in Column 15 (a) "Since birth" if the person has the disability from his/her birth. In other words, he/she was born with this disability. If the person got this disability after birth enter the disability code in Column 15 (b) "After birth".

6.5 Section III. Characteristics of the people

In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.

Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.

For all persons
[Questions 1-11 are for all persons.]


11. Reason for disability
The purpose is to know the reason for which the people of the dwelling have difficulties completing activities in daily life.

This question is only asked if a circle is put around the code of some difficulty in "Disabilities"; in order to do so relate said difficulty with the response codes of question 11 "Cause of disability".

Read the text for the question about the reason for disability for each declared difficulty and record the code in the box that corresponds to the difficulty reported.

In the boxes of the codes, note the code that appears to the right of each one of the options, which must correspond to the difficulty circled in question 10.

Keep in mind that when one person has more than one difficulty, you must have a cause code registered for each one of them.

[p. 99]

Before noting the cause code, consider the following:

  • Code 1, because he/she was born that way. [This occurs] when the cause of the difficulty is at birth, as well as the causes originating during the pregnancy or in the moment of birth.
  • Code 2, because of sickness. [This occurs] when the difficulty was acquired because of health problems after birth. (This also includes disabilities caused by addictions).
  • Code 3, because of an accident. For all the difficulties originating in accidental situations occurring in any place; this could be at work, in the street, at home, or others. This also includes acts of violence, assaults, fights, acts of terrorism, and others.
  • Code 4, because of advanced age. This includes those who display difficulties whose principal cause is related to the physical or mental limitations and difficulties that come with age.
  • Code 5, because of another cause. Note this only in cases for which the cause of the difficulty is not congenital or due to sickness, addiction, accident, or aging.


Example:
Juan declares to the interviewer that Maria has difficulty walking due to an automobile accident where she can no longer mover her legs; in addition, she has difficulty hearing, because she already is very elderly. Record the information as [codes 10 and 13, respectively].

Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (11-42)
This section includes questions (questions 11-42) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted.
Whether or not the household head is at home, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from question 11 to question 42). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section is identical to the one written in in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, also write down all the characteristics of the other household members at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write onto the dotted line in printed letters, in order of their ages, the names surnames and all the characteristics of those, who, while being present at home, are not household members. Answer questions with a box, by placing an "X" into it.


Handicap status (20-22)


Question 22: The cause of your handicap?

Being sought is the reason for the genesis of the disability of the person being administered the census. If according to the response obtained, the reason for the handicap is congenital, put an "X" into the 1 "Congenital" box, if a traffic accident, into the 2 "Traffic accident" box, if due to a work accident, into the 3 "Work accident" box, if from an illness, into the 4 "Illness" box, if other, into the 5 "Other" box.

Disability

175. "Is anyone who was in the household on census night disabled?"

Nature of Disability

176. By "disabled" we mean any condition which prevents a person from living a normal social and working life.

177. There are many disabilities and conditions which may prevent a person from living a normal life. And they may be difficult to describe accurately. But most people have a good idea of what amounts to disability and for census purposes we have to rely on your judgment and that of the household and persons concerned.

178. There are clear cases of disability such as having lost a leg, or being so crippled by polio that once cannot walk normally, or being mad. There are many cases where it is not so easy. In such cases, common sense must be your guide. If the condition is not so serious as to prevent a person from living a full life and being able to provide for him or her, it should not be counted as a disability.

179. 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 would not normally be considered disabled. In the same way a person whose sight is impaired but who wears glasses and can live and work normally while doing so is not disabled for purposes of the census. For census purposes old age is not a disability.

180. If there is anyone in the household who is disabled or whom you and others think of as disabled, write the person number and describe the nature of the disability as best you can in a few words. It is important that you write the person number because we need to know the sex, age and other particulars of the person concerned.

Cause of Disability

181. People may be born with a disability. They may be disabled as a result of illness or because of an injury received by accident or because of an injury inflicted on them by others. Describe the cause as best you can.

[Question P1 - P15 apply to all persons]


Question P14: Cause of Disability
Ask, "What caused this difficulty?"
122. Causes of disability are important because they provide the health and medical explanation of the disability. This information is useful in providing preventive measures against the disability. For example a person may have difficulty in walking because he/she suffered from leprosy or polio. Similarly, a person with strange behavior or mental retardation may have suffered from a long illness, which affected the brain.
123. Sometimes people may be born with a disability. They may be disabled as a result of an illness or because of an injury caused by an accident or because of an injury inflicted on them by others. Record the code of the cause for each corresponding type of disability recorded in P13.
