TBC

In this step, Professor Hannah Kuper will describe why it is important to collect evidence on disability. Professor Kuper will describe three key areas where evidence can be used – in advocacy, to plan interventions, and to see whether interventions are effective. You will hear about the landmark report The World Report on Disability (2011) which drew together a lot of existing evidence from the field, and highlighted a range of existing gaps.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the presentation. Did anything surprise you?
