Analysis Tool( 15) as a blueprint. After testing it with the missions in Ukraine( 5) and the Democratic People’ s Republic of Korea( 7) a revised list of information was extracted and RSAT, below, was developed. The RSAT comprises 8 sections.
• Assessment method information.
• Section 1. General country information, public health indicators and health system information.
• Section 2. Information on assessment and epidemiology of disability.
• Section 3. Information on disability policies and governmental and non-governmental stakeholders.
• Section 4. Information about( health-related) rehabilitation service capacity.
• Section 5. Additional relevant information.
• Section 6. Evaluation of information.
• Section 7. List of sources.
• Section 8. Summary of information, recommendations and proposed projects.
• Annex: Definations and descriptions. In addition, the questionnaire contains initial information on the assessment method and appendices with definitions and explanations, and guidance on how to use the tool.
During the 3 testing phases the information list and questionnaire were improved continuously. This, in particular, involved the inclusion of a more detailed list of disabling health conditions, a description of prototype rehabilitation services, and enhanced lists of rehabilitation professionals and assistive devices. After the third testing phase the authors considered that it could be used for field testing in other contexts and by other working groups.
