“…It is possible that participants in our study were more likely than non‐participants to speak English. The ‘non‐migrant’ group also includes a diverse range of ethnicities, including Māori and Pacific People who experience higher levels of disability relative to New Zealand Europeans, 16,44 and second‐generation migrants who may have some experiences that are similar to first‐generation migrants.…”

“…15 Previous analyses of the Prospective Outcome of Injury Study (POIS) -a New Zealand population-based prospective cohort study -found the risk of disability measured by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) was 22% higher among Pacific compared to non-Pacific participants at three months post-injury. 16 A spinal cord injury study found that a greater percentage of participants (including New Zealand European, Māori, Pacific and Other ethnicities) reported moderate, severe or extreme difficulties to perform daily activities and participations (measured by the WHODAS) at six months post-injury. 17 Even people of the same ethnicity may have different patterns of pre-injury characteristics and use of healthcare services, depending on whether they were born in New Zealand or overseas.…”

Objectives: To compare the prevalence of disability between migrants and non‐migrants at three and 24 months post‐injury, and to identify key predictors of post‐injury disability among migrants. Methods: Disability among 2,850 injured participants, including 677 migrants to New Zealand, was measured prospectively using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule. Results: Migrants experienced higher risk of disability than non‐migrants at three months post‐injury (aRR=1.14, 95%CI 1.03–1.26). Both groups had similar disability prevalence, but higher than pre‐injury, at 24 months. For migrants, strong predictors of disability at three months post‐injury were: higher injury severity, pre‐injury obesity, and perceiving the injury as a threat of disability. Having multiple chronic conditions was a predictor of disability at both time points. Conclusions: Disability was persistent for migrants and non‐migrants to 24 months post‐injury. The disability risk at three months was higher for migrants. Certain predictors associated with disability were identified. Implications for public health: Despite having accessed healthcare services for their injury, migrants (compared with non‐migrants) had higher risks of disability at least in the first three months post‐injury. Interventions should be focused during this critical period on identified key predictors to promote faster recovery and reduce disability.

The growing number of studies indicates increasing interest in the WHODAS 2.0 for assessing individual functioning and disability in different settings and individual health conditions. The WHODAS 2.0 shows strong correlations with several other measures of activity limitations; probably due to the fact that it shares the same disability latent variable with them. Implications for Rehabilitation WHODAS 2.0 seems to be a valid, reliable self-report instrument for the assessment of disability. The increasing interest in use of the WHODAS 2.0 extends to rehabilitation and life sciences rather than being limited to psychiatry. WHODAS 2.0 is suitable for assessing health status and disability in a variety of settings and populations. A critical issue for rehabilitation is that a single "minimal clinically important .difference" score for the WHODAS 2.0 has not yet been established.
