The Learning Rehabilitation System: Strengthening an intersectoral strategy to improve functioning of an ageing population
Coping strategies of disabled people facing barriers to their participation in education, vocational training and employment
In 2014, Switzerland ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which establishes as one of its guiding principles the full and effective participation and inclusion of persons with disabilities in society. The present study examines the lived experience and agency of disabled people living in Switzerland with regard to the coping strategies they resorted to in response to barriers to their participation in life domain…
Exploration of current challenges in rehabilitation from the perspective of healthcare professionals: Switzerland as a case in point
Supporting government policies to embed and expand rehabilitation in health systems in Europe: A framework for action
Investment in action is vital to confront the challenges associated with chronic diseases and disability facing European health systems. Although relevant policy responses are being increasingly developed, most of them fail to recognize the role of rehabilitation services in achieving public health and social goals. Comprehensive guidance is thus urgently needed to support rehabilitation policy development and expand access to rehabilitation care…
Supporting evidence-informed policy making in rehabilitation: A logic framework for continuous improvement of rehabilitation programs
How to capture the individual and societal impacts of syndemics: The lived experience of Covid-19
The notion of a 'syndemic' has recently been suggested as an apt description of the COVID-19 pandemic. A syndemic approach requires suitable causal models for disease interaction within the broader social and economic context, which poses a challenge for data collection. The WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is both a conceptual model for interactive relationships and a classification. The ICF provides…
Environmental barriers to and facilitators of labour market participation as experienced by disabled people living in Switzerland
Forming part of a larger project on how disabled people exercise active citizenship in nine European countries, this study examined factors that enhance or hamper disabled peoples’ opportunities to participate fully and on equal terms with others in the domain of work. Twenty-six, gender-balanced life course interviews with persons living in Switzerland and representing four impairment groups and three age cohorts were conducted. Applying qualita…
Using concept mapping to develop a human rights based indicator framework to assess country efforts to strengthen rehabilitation provision and policy: The Rehabilitation System Diagnosis and Dialogue …
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation is crucial for the realization of the right to health and a proper concern of global health. Yet, reliable information to guide rehabilitation service planning is unavailable in many countries in part due to the lack of appropriate indicators. To ensure universal health coverage and meet the central imperative of "leaving no one behind" countries must be able to assess key aspects of rehabilitation policy and provision …

Developing human rights based indicators to support country monitoring of rehabilitation services and programmes for people with disabilities: A study protocol
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation care is fundamental to health and human dignity and a human right enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The provision of rehabilitation is important for reducing the need for formal support and enabling persons with disabilities to lead an independent life. Increasingly scholars and advocacy groups voice concerns over the significant barriers facing people with disabiliti…
Measuring Disability: Comparing the Impact of Two Data Collection Approaches on Disability Rates
The usual approach in disability surveys is to screen persons with disability upfront and then ask questions about everyday problems. The objectives of this paper are to demonstrate the impact of screeners on disability rates, to challenge the usual exclusion of persons with mild and moderate disability from disability surveys and to demonstrate the advantage of using an a posteriori cut-off. Using data of a pilot study of the WHO Model Disabilit…
Which environmental factors are associated with lived health when controlling for biological health? - a multilevel analysis
This study identified environmental factors associated with people's lived health differences within and between dwellings according to the MLIRT-model approach. This study paves the way for the future implementation of the MLIRT model when analysing ICF-based data
Towards a minimal generic set of domains of functioning and health
The minimal generic set proposed in this study is the starting point to address one of the most important challenges in health measurement--the comparability of data across studies and countries. It also represents the first step in developing a common metric of health to link information from the general population to information about sub-populations, such as clinical and institutionalized populations
Biological health or lived health: Which predicts self-reported general health better
In general, people base their evaluation of their own health on their lived health experience rather than their experience of biological health. This study also sheds light on the challenges of assessing biological health and lived health at the general population level
Social capital, disability, and usefulness of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for the development and monitoring of policy interventions
This paper provides theoretical links between the model of health and disability based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the complex notion of ‘social capital’. In practice, social capital mechanisms could contribute to better health through their use in health-promotion actions, and, in general, through their integration in inclusive policies and systems for facilitating the biopsychosocial model…
A building blocks strategy for developing bridging and knowledge transfer between ageing and disability care and policy
The need for bridging between disability and ageing is significant for two primary reasons: 1) the growing population of persons aging with long-term chronic conditions and disabilities who have not been part of most traditional long-term care supports and service programs for older adults, and 2) the increasing trends towards both integrated health and social care systems and merged care systems for older and younger adults with disabilities
Explaining the disability paradox: A cross-sectional analysis of the Swiss general population
The disability paradox seems to dissolve when contextual factors are put into consideration. Contextual factors may be responsible for some persons with impairments developing A&P limitations and others not. In turn, persons with impairments may only then perceive bad health when they experience A&P limitation. Political interventions at the level of the environment may reduce the number of persons who perceive bad health

Monitoring the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Data and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
This paper approaches the general issue of the complex challenges in the relationship between those who generate data--researchers, scientists, and state statistical offices--and those who use data--researchers and policy-makers--in light of the more specific policy challenges created by the monitoring requirement of the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD: Article 33). International Conventions and Treatie…

The World Report on Disability, a joint endeavor of the World Health Organization and the World Bank, launched in June 2011, is an astonishing achievement that will set the standard for disability studies research for evidence-informed policy for years to come. The product of collaborative and participatory work between organizations of persons with disabilities, academics and social and health professionals and policy-makers, the Report is gover…
Distributive Justice and Disability: Utilitarianism against Egalitarianism
Distributive Justice and Disability: Utilitarianism Against Egalitarianism. By Mark S. Stein. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006. 316p. $50.00.In A Theory of Justice (1971), John Rawls viewed the interests and concerns of people with disabilities as beyond the pale of justice, at best requiring that ad hoc or “special” measures be added onto policies designed for “normal” people. Happily, these days theorists of distributive justice treat dis…
Canadian cases in the philosophy of law
This is a collection of Canadian legal decisions, mostly from the highest court of the land, that raise and respond to central issues in political and legal philosophy and social ethics. All the issues raised by these cases are current and controversial. They include: the scope of judicial review and legitimate powers of the courts; separation of powers; the nature and scope of rights of speech, association, Aboriginal rights, and legal protectio…

A Seat at the Table: Persons with Disabilities and Policy Making
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been used to strike down fifty-eight statutes that permitted the exclusion of persons with disabilities, women, ethnic minorities, or gays and lesbians. While some conservatives see this trend as "rulings for the many by the few," those representing excluded groups view their successful court challenges against unjust laws as a long-awaited coming of age, allowing them to finally obtain a seat at th…

The Status of the Propositions in the Tractatus
It is indeed an odd work of philosophy which is prefaced with the remark that the author believes that he has found the final solutions to all philosophical problems and which concludes with the remark that the propositions found in the work must ultimately be regarded as nonsensical. Yet Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is just such a work. And for the reader, who has probably spent a good deal of time filling in gaps in important a…
One Ought to Do What One Thinks One Ought to Do’
R. E. Jennings has recently provided us with two formal renderings of the motto of the view he calls ‘pseudo-subjectivism’, viz., ‘One ought to do what one thinks one ought to do’. These renderings are (keeping to Jennings's symbolism and numbering)
Justifying Deduction
Is there a problem about justifying deduction? Why shouldn't there be? There is, after all, a direct analogue of Hume's dilemma for induction which applies, presumably with equal force, to deduction: We cannot justify deduction inductively since it would be far too weak to say, what such a justification could at best say, that usually when the premisses of a valid deductive argument are true, then the conclusion is true as well. But neither can w…

Does a needs‐led delivery of services undermine disability discrimination principles
In this article we contrast the use of a needs‐led approach to the provision of care services with one based on a right not to suffer discrimination. We demonstrate how a needs‐led approach must inevitably be constrained by budgetary considerations and can therefore never be absolute. This is turn will lead to situations in which people are left out of provision, which raises the question: Have they suffered discrimination? But non‐discrimination…
