  1. Philippines’ NSO Experience in Cognitive Testing of Functional Difficulty Washington Group Meeting 9 October 7-9, 2009 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

  2. Cognitive test process – what an experience! • identify possible sources of difficulty or measurement error at each stage • Explore and understand the diverse ways in which people answer survey questions • Explain, interpret and document the answers, event and even the influence of the environment(in Qnotes) • Require patience in asking for answers or probing for why answers were given in a certain way

  3. Cognitive test process – what an experience! • Long and tedious • Requires persuasion and good note taking skills • Emotionally depleting especially if the respondent is belongs to the low SES group • Requires some knowledge of medical conditions especially to validate self-report ailments or determine health disparities (for functional difficulty)

  4. Cognitive test vs. survey questionnaire set for measuring disability • shorter question set for measuring disability • Double-barrel questions reduced (although example to use a cell phone or to get to a new place still part mentioned) • Better sequence of questions

  5. Benefits to the Philippine NSO • Exposure to a more rigid cognitive interview process vis-à-vis earlier WG and ESCAP projects • Trailblazer in Asia and the Pacific on functional difficulty surveys • Better understanding of the sector of persons with disabilities • More confidence to explain the recommendations for 2010 census on difficulty framework and its limited questions

  6. Possible Technical Assistance ? • Refinement of the survey questionnaire on functional difficulty with leeway for cultural idiosyncrasies • Development of questions not only for core domains but for optional domains depending on the country’s development

  7. Possible Technical Assistance ? • Inter-phase with the government agencies and non-government agencies requiring statistics on persons with disability • Introduction to cognitive testing, including analysis of its results for the NSOs
