World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS)

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) is a tool used to measure a person's level of functioning and difficulty in daily life caused by health conditions or disabilities. It evaluates areas such as understanding and communication, mobility, self-care, social interactions, life activities, and participation in society. The assessment helps healthcare providers understand how health issues impact an individual's ability to perform everyday tasks, guiding treatment and support decisions. WHODAS provides a standardized way to assess disability across different cultures and health conditions, promoting better care and social inclusion.
