Guide for use:Help on this term

CODE 1 Self-care 

This includes showering or bathing; dressing or undressing; toileting; eating food.

CODE 2 Mobility

This includes moving around the house; moving around outside the home; getting in or out of a chair; using public transport.

Animals used for personal mobility (that is, guide dogs and companion animals) are generally considered to fall into the category of aids and/or equipment. Also included within this category are prosthetic and orthotic devices, wheelchairs, transfer devices, etc.

CODE 3 Communication

This includes understanding or being understood by other people, including people you know; using a telephone.

For this life area, a person’s level of difficulty is assessed in terms of whether they can understand, or be understood, in their native language or preferred method of communication. This can include both written and verbal communication and it does not refer to situations where the respondent can’t read or write because they did not have an opportunity to access education. Interpreters for language are considered to provide personal assistance, and are not considered aids and/or equipment.

CODE 4 Learning and applying knowledge 

This includes keeping focused on things; learning new things; solving problems; making decisions.

CODE 5 Managing things around the home

This includes getting groceries; preparing meals; doing washing or cleaning; taking care of pets.

CODE 8 Community life

Collection Methods:Help on this term

For each of the life areas, provide examples of activities and explain to the respondent that the following questions are asked in the context of a long-term health condition or disability that has lasted, or is expected to last, 6 months or more.

Note that this is seeking to identify if, due to a long-term health condition or disability, a respondent cannot undertake everyday activities that other people in a similar age group would normally be able to carry out.
