**Cognitive testing of the WG questions in Egypt.**

**1. [Introduction]{.underline}**

The demand for accurate information for evidenced-based decision making
for persons with disability at all levels is in the increase. The public
sector, the private sector, research institutions and the civil society
alike require complete, reliable and credible information on disability
so as to effectively plan and implement their programs. The Central
Agency For Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) is charged with
responsibility to fulfill this mandate of providing accurate, reliable
and timely data for planning, implementation and Monitoring and
Evaluation (M&E), including data on persons with disability.

Traditionally, Egyptian society ascribed simple work, such as cloth
folding, threading beads and wool spinning to handicapped persons. Al-
Azhar University was the first to rehabilitate the visionary handicapped
persons and to educate them as motives for Islam. Early in the
nineteenth century Egyptian citizens started to form benevolent
assemblies serving the handicapped. In 1939 the Ministry of Social
Affairs was established, with the handicapped persons through providing
their essential requirements and rehabilitating them to be productive
persons in the society. In 1953 the Ministry of social Affairs
established the first handicapped rehabilitation center. Now, there are
many center distributed in all the Egyptian governorates.

Various Government planning and policy strategy documents have
identified persons with disabilities as one of the vulnerable segments
of the population that requires special planning in view of their
special needs, and hence credible data. Unfortunately, much of the
required data for persons with disabilities are either not adequate or
simply are lacking.

The cognitive interviews will provide an excellent opportunity to survey
planners, policy makers and researchers alike to get a better
understanding of their relevance and application under different
socio-economic and cultural contexts.

Measurement of disability is difficult and in recognition of this
constrain, it is important that before including any questions on
disability in any survey or census, it is imperative that a good
understanding of their relevance, application, limitation and the
reliability of the interpretable estimates are established, and
particularly how they are interpreted by respondents. The WG disability
questions aims at addressing these issues.

The main objectives of the cognitive interviews are to test the
consistency of the questions, their interpretation by respondents and
application under different contexts.

**[2.1 []{dir="rtl"}Translation of the Cognitive
questionnaire[.]{dir="rtl"}]{.underline}**

The questionnaire of cognitive testing was translated to Arabic. The
translated questionnaire was reviewed by a demographer person. The
questions on health condition were checked by a person working in the
field of health. The comments from the demographer and healthy checkers
were reviewed and agreed on the final version of questionnaire. 100
copies of the questionnaire were typed.

After transferring income categories from Euro to national\
currency (Egyptian pound), It is noticed that the suggested
categories are very high compared to the standard of living in Egypt
especially the lowest one. So we used the categories that are relevant
to our standard of living after reviewing the latest Income and
Expenditure Survey which conducted in Egypt during 2004/2005.

**2.2 [Translation of the Questions Specifications for the Cognitive
Test Protocol]{.underline}**

A manual of interviewer\'s instructions based on the Specifications for
the Cognitive Test Protocol was prepared in Arabic and typed.

**2.3 [Sample design]{.underline}**

There is no available frame for the Egyptian disabled persons in CAPMAS.
So to have enough cases of disabled persons, we visited The Social
Rehabilitation Department in the Ministry of Social Affairs and we
explained the aim of our work and we ask for a sample of disabled
persons in three governorates with different kinds of disabilities and
in different socio economic status (age, sex, education, residence,
income) from the Rehabilitation Centers. The manager of The Social
Rehabilitation Department has been agreed and suggested the six
following centers:

  ----------------------------------- ----------------- --------------------
  **Centers**                         **Governorate**   **Kind of
                                                        disability**

  4- Egyptian Association for deaf    Cairo             Hearing & Speaking
  and dumb disability caring                            

  5- Multi- disability association    Giza              Multi- disabilities

  6- The Social Rehabilitation        Kalyuobia         All kinds of
  association for disabled persons.                     Disabilities
  ----------------------------------- ----------------- --------------------

Four persons visited the six centers and collect a frame for about 100
persons with different kinds of disabilities and soico economic status.
The frame included the following information: name, place of residence,
age, education, standard of living, Kind of disability and the degree of
difficulty.

**2.4 [Interviewers Selection and Training:]{.underline}**

Special attention was given to the selection and training of the test
personnel. A total of 7 interviewers, who work at The Population Studies
and Research Center in CAPMAS, and have long experience in population
and health surveys (some of them have master degree or diploma in
demography) were selected. They were trained for 3 days before the
beginning of field operations.

The training course of interviewers consisted of classroom lectures on
the objectives and organization of the test, detailed explanation of
questionnaire, principle of interviewing and the art of asking
questions, demonstration interviews, role playing interviews and
practice interviews.

**2.5 [Data collection]{.underline}**

Fieldwork was undertaken by seven female interviewers. Each interviewer
was completed 10 questionnaires. 48 disabled persons with different kind
of disability (vision, hearing. mobility and mental) and 22 persons
without disability was interviewed in their place of residence. In
addition, the data of proxy person for the 70 persons was completed. 27
disabled persons were selected from the prepared frame and 21 disabled
persons were selected from normal families. The interviewed persons
without disability were selected randomly from the same areas of
disabled persons. Each interviewer was asked to prepare a report on her
work to present the 10 interviewed cases including the description of
how respondents felt about the questions, and how easy or difficult the
administration was. These reports will take into consideration during
the preparing of the final report.

**2.6 [Data Editing and Translation of the opened
questions]{.underline}**

-   Two persons from the team of data collection reviewed the
    questionnaires to ensure the completeness and follow the
    instructions of skips.

-   Two persons translated the opened questions from Arabic to English.

**2.7 [Data Entry]{.underline}**

Data entry of the 70 questionnaires started after the completing of data
editing and the translation of the opened questions by using the
prepared excel sheet. Three persons involved in the process of data
entry.

We added seven variables at the end of the questionnaire to present
information on the selected sample. They are:

**4. [Disability prevalence]{.underline}**

**Positive responses and prevalence**

For ease of making statistical comparisons, it will be useful to
transform the responses to the core questions from categorical variables
to binary variables. In order not to lose the richness of the responses,
the analysis done using different definitions of a positive response,
D1, D2, D3, such that:

D1 = 1 if response is some difficulty, a lot of difficulty, or can't do
at all,

else =0

D2 = 1 if response is a lot of difficulty or can't do at all, else =0

D3 = 1 if response is can't do at all, else=0

Clearly, D1 is the broadest definition of a disability and D3 is the
most limited.

Overall disability prevalence can be measured many ways, but four are
proposed:

P1 = 1 if at least one domain has D1=1, else =0

P2 = 1 if at least one domain has D2=1, else =0

P3 = 1 if at least one domain has D3=1, else =0

PM = 1 if more than one domain has D1=1; else =0 (M stands for multiple
domains)

Using these measures the core questions for the self persons and the
proxy persons yields a matrix of functioning for the six domains and
presented in table (4.1) for self persons and in table (4.2) for proxy
persons.

Similar to the core questions, the presence of disability needs to be
coded for the extended questions. Within each domain, define the
following variables (with ED for extended disability measure):

ED1 =1 if at least one extended question in a given domain has a
response of some difficulty, a lot of difficulty, or can't do at all,
else =0

ED2 =1 if at least one extended question in a given domain has a
response of a lot of difficulty, or can't do at all, else =0

ED3 =1 if at least one extended question in a given domain has a
response of can't do at all; else =0

The Prevalence estimates for the extended questions are presented in
table (4.3) for self persons and in table (4.4) for proxy persons.

Table (4.1) shows that the overall disability prevalence (if at least
one domain has D1=1) is 91.4%, it decreased to 60% in case of at least
one domain has D2=1 and to 20% (if at least one domain has D3=1). While
the multiple disability prevalence (if more than one domain has D1=1) is
reached 77.2% for the total sample. In addition the same table presented
the disability prevalence for each domain and three levels of
difficulties D1, D2 and D3. In case of interviewing the persons
themselves, the highest disability prevalence in the selected sample is
for the lower mobility disability (D1=72.9%) followed by vision and
cognitive disability (D1 about 55%). The lowest disability prevalence is
for the hearing and communication disability (D1 =17%).

\- Comparing the disability prevalence, either the overall disability
prevalence or specific disability prevalence, it is noticed that the
disability prevalence is somewhat higher for the persons themselves
compared to that of the proxy persons (Table 4.2).

\- with regard to the disability prevalence for some of the extended
questions included in the questionnaire compared to the disability
prevalence in the core questions, it is clear from the data of tables
(4.3, 4.4) that:-

[The persons themselves:]{.underline}

\-[For disability of degree (D1]{.underline}): disability prevalence
increase in the case of extended questions for hearing disability
(especially hearing in a crowded room) and communication disability
compared to the core question.

\-[For disability of degree (D2)]{.underline}: disability prevalence
increased in some of the extended questions for vision, hearing (in a
crowded room) cognitive, lower mobility and communication disability
compared to the core question.

\-[For disability of degree (D3):]{.underline} disability prevalence
increased in some of the extended questions for vision, cognitive, lower
mobility disability compared to the core question.

cognitive, lower mobility and communication disability compared to the
core question.

**5. [Correlation Analysis]{.underline}**

The question remains as to the relationship between D1, D2, and D3 for
the core questions and ED1, ED2, and ED3 for the extended questions.
Both sets of questions are asked for each respondent, after which we can
construct the following correlation matrix for each domain, where each
cell is the correlation coefficient of the variables in the
corresponding row and column. For the purposes of this table, D0 and ED0
have been added, where

D0 = 1 if there are no reported difficulties; else=0

ED0 = 1 if there are no reported difficulties in any of the ED
questions; else=0

In order to not "contaminate" the results of the WG census questions,
the six questions were asked prior to the extended questions. This is
because respondents' interpretation of the questions may change once
they are prompted with the more detailed questions, which will not be
included in a census.

Using the correlation coefficients, it is straightforward to test if
there are statistically significant differences between the D and ED
measures. If those differences are statistically significant then the
measures are not equivalent. The following comparisons between measures
will be made for each of the six core domains:

D0 vs. ED0

D1 vs. ED1

D2 vs. ED2

D3 vs. ED3

The following tables from (5.1 to 5.12) present the correlation
coefficients for the core questions and extended questions.

[Vision disability:]{.underline}

The correlation coefficient for (D, ED) in case of the persons
themselves or the proxy persons ranged between 0.6-0.8 with all levels
of disability. It indicates that the core question is significant in the
case of vision disability.

[Hearing disability:]{.underline}

-The correlation coefficient for (D, ED) in case of the persons
themselves with the difficulty degree of (D1, D2) ranged between 0.5-0.6
and reached to 1 with the difficulty degree of (D3).

-In case of the proxy persons, it is noticed that the correlation
coefficient increase with the increase in the degree of difficulty and
it decreased to less than 0.5 at the difficulty degree of (D1) and no
difficulty (D0) when asking about hearing in a quiet room.

[Cognitive disability:]{.underline}

Correlation coefficient for (D, ED) decreased to less than 0.5 for
persons themselves and the proxy persons except one case with difficulty
degree of (D2) in the relation of core question with question (11) which
indicate that there are statistically significant differences between D
and ED measures in case of cognitive disability.

[Lower mobility disability:]{.underline}

For the persons themselves and the proxy ones, it is noticed that in
general, there is an increase in the correlation coefficient for (D, ED)
in the different difficulty degrees as the distance of walking increased
from inside to outside home and walking for one kilometer.

Also, it is also noticed that correlation coefficient increased for (D,
ED) in the case of walking outside home and walking for one kilometer in
the case of proxy persons (ranged between 0.5-0.7) compared to the
persons themselves in the different difficulty degrees.

[Self care disability:]{.underline}

The correlation coefficient between the core question and question
number (5) doesn\'t increase than 0.4 for different difficulty degree in
the case of the persons themselves and the proxy persons. It indicates
that there is no significant relationship between them.

[Communication disability:]{.underline}

The correlation coefficient between the core question and question
number (5) ranged between (0.5-0.6) for the difficulty degree (D0, D1,
D2) and reached (1) for the difficulty degree (D3) for the proxy person
while there is no any significant relationship between the core question
and question number (6) for the difficulty degree of (D0, D1), it don\'t
exceed 0.4 in the case of the persons themselves and the proxy ones but
the correlation coefficient increased to reach (0.7) for the difficulty
degree (D2) and reached (1) for the difficulty degree (D3) for the proxy
persons.

hearing,...) the respondent answered that just there is a difficulty and
don\'t define the degree of that difficult. This required asking another
question on the degree of difficulty. If there isn\'t any kind of
difficulty, the respondent astonished when asking him (why did you
answered that way?). Sometimes the respondents reply it is my health and
I know it well. The respondent also felt bored with the frequency of
that question with different kind of difficulties and say it is enough
for me what I\'m suffering from.

2\. The respondents also feel bored from the long questionnaire and the
frequency of the some questions with different kinds of difficulties.

3\. In some cases, the respondents and their families interested with
the questionnaire as a result of their sense that there is someone cared
with their problems and consequently they will try to help them in the
future in terms of treatment for example. In the other cases, they
mentioned that this work isn\'t important because the government will
not do anything for them.

4\. The word [\"acclivities\"]{.underline} in the vision section and
other sections of difficulties has been understood either by interviewer
himself or the proxy one as cultural or sports activities not as
ordinary day activities. So, it is recommended to be exchanged by (the
ordinary or normal day activities).

5\. The question of (How often do you have difficulty .....), the word
[how often]{.underline} in all difficult cases is not understandable
especially in case of continuous& permanent difficulties that is not
frequent.

6\. The question \"How concerned or worried are you about name\'s...\",
with the proxy person create a sense of confusion weather the worried of
interviewer himself or the worried of proxy person about the
capabilities of the interviewer.

The answer on the same question in some cases is \"I\'m satisfied with
God welling\".

8\. The respondents feel bored with asking about different kinds of
difficulties. For example one of the interviewers who suffered from a
difficulty in her eyes said that \" is it not enough what I am suffering
from, you want me to suffer from hearing and mobility. It means that
they bothered from asking about the other kinds of difficulties they
don\'t suffered.

9\. One of the educated respondents \"who have finished her university
education\" mentioned that this questionnaire is understandable for
educated persons while the uneducated ones, it is difficult to
understand some words like (how often, activities, communication. She
recommended that such words needed to be explained.

10\. There is a big difference between the psychological case of the
disabled person and the proxy one. The handicapped person in most cases
is somewhat nervous sometimes is optimistic hoping that his problem
might be solved. The proxy person is quieter.

11\. One of the respondents said that the disabled person who are
educated is more nervous than non educated ones because he felt that he
finished his higher education and don't offer either a suitable job or
small enterprise and moreover, they handicapped him if he tried to start
his own small project especially in getting the permission of starting
the project or in getting an aid mobile method (motorcycle).

12\. One of the respondents suggests that the questionnaire should start
with the questions of the main difficulties of the disabled person to
avoid the boring feel from the frequency of the questions related to
other kinds of difficulty.

13\. One of the data collectors complained that the duration of the
interview maybe prolonged because of the desire of the disabled person
to speak about his problem even before asking the questions related to
his difficult.

14\. One of the data collectors mentioned that the social specialist in
the Social Rehabilitation association for disabled persons said that the
mental retarded persons don\'t have the ability to answer any question
because that his mental age don\'t exceed 5 years when we discussed the
fact that such mental retardation center accept only those who can at
least communicate with others, the social specialist in the center said
that they are here to learn anything like painting and decoration as the
children in the nursery but they can\'t learn any handicraft like
carpenter that incorporate some kinds of adventures. Consequently, it is
better to fell the questionnaire from the proxy person.

15\. All the questions about (some difficulty, a lot of difficulties,
some effort, and a lot of effort) required to be explained to declare
the degree of difficulty and effort.

16\. All the questions include (no answer, don\'t know), it recommended
to add a category of other (specify) to be able to code this questions
in case of different answer. For example, question (4) of cognitive
section one of the respondents answered that when she faced any
difficulty in remembering or concentration, she leave this subject and
do anything else until she remember it.

\- It is recommended to fill the questionnaire from the disabled persons
himself except for mental retarded persons and those who are suffering
from physiological disease. The proxy person will explain the case
better than the disable person.

In the case of deaf and dumb persons, it is better to fill the
questionnaire from the proxy person or use anyone who is able to
translate the question for the disabled person.

-Special training must be given for Interviewers who meet the disable
persons Interviewers needed to be trained well to be able to fill the
questionnaire. Also need to train how to deal with the disable persons
especially those who are suffering from serious difficulties. Although
the interviewers who filled the questionnaire are highly experienced in
the field work, they felt very sad and sometimes they cry due to the bad
conditions of the disabled persons the met.
