Disability Follow-up to the 1996/97 Family Resources Survey
- Abstract
-
The aim of the survey was to find out the size and characteristics of the disabled adult population of GB. The research is based on a follow-up survey of disabled respondents in the 1996/97 Family Resources Survey - a continuous survey of household characteristics, incomes and resources. Respondents who match any one of a series of sift criteria based on age, benefit receipt or reported health problems are asked to take part in a further interview. This asks in detail about cause, type and severity of disability, the extra needs and costs which result, and participation in leisure and social activities.
