Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | 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 and equipment, is an aspect of the environment. The level of difficulty includes the amount of assistance a person may currently receive (such as from a carer, relative etc.) to perform tasks in each life area, not just unmet needs. |

Collection methods: | It is expected that this data element will be used to collect information from the individual being assessed, or a proxy/carer or service worker 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? (choose one answer for each row)'. |
