Beyond DALYs: Developing Indicators to Assess the Impact of Public Health Interventions on the Lives of People with Disabilities
Two indicators - the Activity Limitation Score (ALS) and the Participation Restriction Score (PRS) - are presented in this paper for use in assessing the impact of public health interventions on the lives of disabled people. They address a gap in the Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) approach which is not sensitive to changes in people's functional status resulting from interventions that do not change an underlying medical diagnosis. Household data from Zambia are used to explore the potential usefulness of these measures.
