Defining Disability1. “Are you limited in any way in any
activities because of physical, mental, or emotional problems?”

Measuring Perceptions of Disability1. In the past 12 months, how often have other
people’s attitudes toward you been a problem at home?
2. In the past 12 months, how often have other people’s attitudes toward you been a problem outside of the home, such as during social activities like shopping or at school or work?
3. In the past 12 months, how often did you experience prejudice or discrimination?
4. If you are talking to a blind person, it is all right to use words such as “see” or “look” in a conversation?
5. You should avoid asking people who have disabilities questions about their disabilities?
6. Overall, how much contact would you say you have had with people who have disabilities?
