The adult self-admim‘stered version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment
Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) is a 36-item measure that assesses disability in adults age 18 years and older. It assesses disability across six domains, including understanding and communicating, getting around, self—Care, getting along with people, life activities (i.e., household, work, and / or school activities), and participation in society. If the adult indi- vidual is of impaired capacity and unable to complete the form (e.g., a patient with demen- tia), a knowledgeable informant may complete the proxy—administered version of the measure, which is available at www.psychiatry.org/dsm5. Each item on the self-administered version of the WHODAS 2.0 asks the individual to rate how much difficulty he or she has had in specific areas of functioning during the past 30 days.
WHODAS 2.0 Scoring Instructions Provided by WHO
WHODAS 2.0 summary scores. There are two basic options for computing the summary scores for the WHODAS 2.0 316-item full version.
Simple: The scores assigned to each of the items—"none" (1), "mild” (2), ”moderate” (3), ”severe” (4), and ”extreme” (5)—are summed. This method is referred to as simple scoring because the scores from each of the items are simply added up without recoding or collaps- ing of response categories; thus, there is no weighting of individual items. This approach is practical to use as a hand-scoring approach, and may be the method of choice in busy clin- ical settings or in paper-and-pencil interview situations. As a result, the simple sum of the scores of the items across all domains constitutes a statistic that is sufficient to describe the degree of functional limitations.
