Problematic Activities Survey Results Overview

This site will allow you to sort through the results to see how problematic people found different activities in public buildings, public streets or residential environments. This site allows you to view the results in two ways. You can view the results by impairment condition; this allows you to see which the activities that each condition found the most problematic in the selected environment. Or you can view the results by activity; this will allow you to compare impairment conditions to see which condition found the selected activity the most problematic.

Examine Results by Condition

Before participating in the surveys, participants reported how often physical, sensory and cognitive conditions affected their ability to perform routine activities. These conditions could be due to a permanent impairment, temporary injury, or a commonly occurring situation. Examining the results by condition will allow you to determine which activities each condition found the most problematic in public buildings, on public streets and in residential environments.
