Abstract

This paper is the result of a comprehensive study of the issues and challenges of including persons with disabilities in interview surveys. Through a review of the literature and over fifty in-depth interviews with key disability advocates and survey methodologists, we discuss the major issues (including sampling, proxy interviewing, and the use of adaptive technologies) and present a set of recommendations for including persons with disabilities in interview surveys.
