An initial survey, known as the Handicap-Incapacity-Dependence, was carried out between 1998 and 2001, but the Disability Health Survey conducted in 2008-09 was quite different, especially because the international definition/classification for handicaps greatly changed during the 2000s. In 2008-09, three samples were surveyed: - 30,000 individuals living in an ordinary household (8,000 individuals were aged 60 and over); - 9,000 people living in specialized institutions (including 3,000 people living in Old Age & Elderly Care Homes); - 5,000 informal caregivers (mean age= 58 years old). In 2015, another survey will be conducted with very similar methodology and questionnaires, but with a restriction to individuals aged 60 and over (CARE survey: Capacity, Help, Resources of Seniors). The three sample design will be reproduced: - 11,000 individuals living in an ordinary household, aged 60 and over; - 3,000 people aged 60 and over living in specialized institutions; - 5,000 informal caregivers (mean age= 58 years old).

2008-09

To select people with disabilities, an exploratory survey is required: in 2008, about 140,000 people were briefly surveyed (VQS survey: “Vie Quotidienne et Santé”=daily life and health) to build a base for sampling. This base was used to randomly select people with no/light/severe disabilities, with an overrepresentation of the last two categories. The same procedure will be used in 2014/2015 with a restriction to people aged 60 and over.

age 18 and over

Each of the three samples is representative of its specific target population (after weighting the data): disabled people living in ordinary households, disabled people living in a specialised institution, informal caregivers.

Regarding health & performance, the data allow for a detailed study (of disabled people, but also of informal caregivers, regarding their quality of life, their social participation, their occupational status, etc.). The data also allow for original insight regarding the way disabilities are managed (insurance benefits, formal/informal care, specific equipment in the house/at work, etc.), as well as regarding their consequences (in terms of restrictions to social participation/work/use of public transportation, etc.). Such information is related to the topics Social Systems and Welfare, Work and Productivity, Housing and Mobility.

Important methodological changes have occurred between 1998-2001 and 2008-09, and to a lesser extent between 2008-09 and 2015. The 2015 wave will not be carried out by the Insee (depending of the Ministry of Economics), but by the DREES (Direction of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics, Ministry of Health). This wave will be restricted to people aged 60 and over (except for informal caregivers), and some aspects of the 2008-09 questionnaire will be deleted (especially questions dealing with social participation).

Strengths: - This survey offers a very specific point of view on both disabled people (including those living in specialised institutions) and informal caregivers. This is very complementary with other data sources, and this is quite relevant because many informal caregivers are aged 60 and over; - The 2015 wave will focus exclusively on people aged 60 and over; - The Insee is the most reliable French institute in the field of data collection and analyses; - Linkage with the SNIIR-AM database and other administrative/tax collection databases. Weaknesses: - limited comparability from one survey to the other due to changes in methodology and the questionnaire: the 1998-2001 and 2008-09 surveys can hardly be considered as two waves of the same survey, and despite increasing comparability, the 2015 survey will be quite different from the 2008-09 one; - data dictionaries and datasets are not available in English.
