Abstract: This report summarizes the findings of a study testing child disability questions asked to pairs of parents and their teenage children, or parent-teen dyads. These questions were developed by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) with the participation of the United Nations Children’s Fund and are intended for use in country-wide surveys. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in the ways these questions are answered by parent-proxies versus how they are answered by teens themselves. These questions had previously been tested in a cross-national evaluation of parent-proxy respondents (Massey, Chepp, Zablotsky, & Creamer, 2014).
