As part of ESCAP’s work to strengthen national statistical offices’ capacity to collect comparable data on disability, the Statistics Division is organizing an expert group meeting to review the results of a second round of cognitive testing of the Washington Group/ESCAP extended question set to measure disability through surveys. The specific objectives of the EGM are to: i) discuss the results of the second round of cognitive testing of the question set on disability, in particular on the domains of communication, hearing, affect, pain and fatigue; ii) further train senior statisticians from Asia-Pacific on the skills required to undertake the analysis of cognitive interviews; and iii) discuss future areas of work on disability data collection and measurement.
