433549 Indicator:Met need of assistive products as proportion of need (%) - Age Group:50-59 years - Assistive technology product:Total % Rationale: The WHA71.8 Resolution on improving access to assistive technology urges all Member States to take actions to improve access to assistive technology, and requests WHO to develop progress reports to monitor the status of assistive technology access and communicate the progress made by Member States in implementing the resolution. Definition: The ratio of prevalence of met need to prevalence of need, where: Prevalence of met need = the proportion of a population using assistive products that do not need new or additional assistive products. Prevalence of need = sum of the prevalence of met need (the proportion of a population using assistive products that do not need new or additional assistive products) and the prevalence of unmet need (the proportion of a population that need new or additional assistive products regardless of whether they are already using assistive products or not.) Method of measurement: Population-based survey: household survey conducted with the rapid Assistive Technology Assessment (rATA), a dedicated WHO survey tool collecting self-reported data on access to assistive technology. Method of estimation: Estimates derived from national household surveys using the rapid Assistive Technology Assessment (rATA). Percentage of met need = (Number of respondents who reported using assistive products that do not need new or additional assistive products / Total number of respondents) *100/ [(Number of respondents who reported using assistive products that do not need new or additional assistive products / Total number of respondents) + (Number of respondents who reported being in need of new or additional assistive products regardless of whether they are already using assistive products or not/ Total number of respondents)] 2022-05-19 10:35:42 2023-06-15 05:05:42     2019 - 2021 5629 22615 %
