Person—need for assistance with activities in a life area, disability flag code N, to complete the following matrix:
| Always/sometimes need help and/or supervision | Have difficulty, but don't need help/supervision | Don't have difficulty, but use aids/equipment/ medications |
Have no difficulty | |
| Self-care | ||||
| Mobility | ||||

Comments
Guide for use:
The data elements in this cluster are collected to help assess access to and use of mainstream services by people with varying levels of support need. It is the respondent’s perception about whether a long-term health condition or disability restricts their everyday activities that is important.
It is expected that for children aged 5–14 years, the items in this cluster would be collected from a proxy (parent/guardian/teacher answering on the child's behalf).
