Definition

Carried out for the first time in 2008, the disabled persons healthcare survey – household section is conducted jointly by the research, studies and statistical analysis directorate of the Ministry for Health.

The survey aims to estimate the number of people experiencing health problems or living in a situation of disability, and to evaluate the assistance which they require.

The disabled persons healthcare survey – household section surveys 39,000 people in France (metropolitan France and the overseas departments), dealing with physical disabilities, incapacities, physical and mental health and the different types of assistance received or required (technical, personal and financial), as well as certain factors of social participation (education, employment, leisure activities, discrimination).
