Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | This data element, along with Person—activity and participation life area, disability flag code N, enables an assessment of a person's level of difficulty and need for assistance in life areas, leading to classification of level of activity limitation. In the context of health, an activity is the execution of a task or action by an individual. An activity limitation is a difficulty an individual may have in executing an activity. Activity limitation varies with the environment, and is assessed in relation to a particular environment; the absence or presence of assistance, including aids, equipment and/or medications, is an aspect of the environment. |

Collection methods: | This data element is designed for the whole mainstream population and should be used to collect information from the respondent, or a proxy/carer answering on their behalf. The responses are phrased in response to the question 'For each of the following activities, do you need help/supervision, have difficulty, or use aids/equipment/medications? (choose one answer for each row)'.
