Next Steps

• Jennifer Madans, USA

2
Workgroup on general measure

• Potential revisions to short set of questions
• Recommended revisions to statement of rationale
• Initiate work to develop general measure as a
  screener

3
Workgroup on implementation

• Recommended revisions to implementation documents

4
Workgroup on extended measures

• Develop a plan (blueprint) for the process of
  development of extended sets (including purpose,
  rationale, justifications, international
  comparability, etc.)
• Formulate options for additional domains to
  measure equalization of opportunities and
  recommend domains for inclusion on extended
  measure
• Begin development of an extended set of measures
  on environment

5
New workgroup on analysis

• Formulate new workgroup to plan analyses to
  inform WG work on general measure based on
  WHO/ESCAP and WG tests
• Identify a few persons to study cognitive test
  results for the WHODAS and WHS to come up with 1
  scenarios on how to deal with the results of the
  ESCAP and WG trials (recommend revisions, if
  needed, to the general set include evaluation of
  SF36)
• Prepare summary of WG pre-test results as an
  attachment to the statement of rationale

6
Additional recommendations

• Look at issue of order when the general measure
  is placed on a larger survey
• Investigate possibilities for regional workshops
  in Europe or Central Asia/Middle East
• Recommendations for presentation in Tokyo

Objectives for 6th meeting

1. Present work on continued development of the
   general measure including revisions based on the
   results of pre-testing (both WHO/UNESCAP test and
   WG test) further revise statement of rationale
   including summary of supporting data from
   pre-tests consider development of short set for
   use as a screener
2. Present further revisions to implementation
   protocols
3. Present work on development of the extended
   measurement set/s including the plan for
   development of sets the options for additional
   domains to be included to address the purpose of
   assessing equalization of opportunities and
   progress on the development of an extended set on
   environmental factors

Objectives for 6th meeting

• Report on WG pre-test results present analyses
  from WHO/ESCAP and WG pre-tests along with
  recommendations
• Report on regional meetings (if any) discuss
  strategic issues
