Placement of the Module in the Questionnaire
The six questions of the WG-SS are best situated either at the beginning of a survey or census questionnaire (together with the demographic information collected on household family members) or towards the beginning of a section that deals with health information. The module should not be added on at the end of the questionnaire. Under no circumstances should the questions immediately follow any questions on disability, since this affects how respondents will react to the questions.
Table 3 shows selected national practices in the placement of the questions within questionnaires related to disability that were part of recent Household Surveys or Population Censuses implemented by some Arab countries. Bahrain, Iraq, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Qatar and Sudan have placed the questions related to disability with the demographic characteristics, while the rest of the countries located them towards the end of the questionnaire.
