Abstract
The ICIDH presents a scheme for recording detailed data relating to the consequences of disease in patients treated by the health-care system. At first sight, it seems to have little relevance to recording, much less collecting, data obtained during a household survey of disablement. However, the scheme is based on definitions which represent a logical development from those successfully used in disablement surveys conducted in Canterbury. The experience gained in these surveys suggests that the conceptualization of disablement in future surveys could, with advantage to clarity and comparability, be based on the definitions presented in the ICIDH. Further, the ICIDH indicates the range of disablement components and indicators from which a selection might be made in any particular survey. Also, it sometimes presupposes methods of collecting the data relating to these components and indicators which might be adapted to survey use. 1.
