IDI Disability Survey data (DS)

The Disability Survey (DS) data documents the content of the Adult 2013, Adult Weights 2013, and Child 2013 tables that Stats NZ provides to Stats NZ to use in the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). The DS datasets contain survey data collected in the 2013 Disability Survey for disabled children and adults living in New Zealand, the nature and cause of impairments, the type of support needed, and how well disabled people are faring compared with non-disabled people.
