Life Functioning: Basics Survey Companion Details and Resources

  • Updated

Survey Design

The Life Functioning survey was developed to collect disability response data from participants who completed The Basics survey before disability measures were added to it. When The Basics survey first launched to participants, it did not include disability items; those items were added mid-fielding at a later date. The Life Functioning survey includes a total of six items from the American Community Survey (ACS) which are identical to the disability items in the Basics survey.

Scoring Considerations for the Life Functioning Survey

The Life Functioning survey items are sourced from the disability items in the American Community Survey (ACS). Participants who report any one of the six disability types are considered to have a disability. For more information, read the ACS indicators of disability.

Sample Eligibility

The survey is only available to participants that were enrolled in All of Us prior to the inclusion of disability items in The Basics survey. For more information about survey samples and releases, please see Introduction to All of Us Survey Collection and Data Transformation Methods.

Note: Because this survey is meant as an accompaniment to The Basics survey, it’s recommended that data from the Lifestyle Functioning survey be analyzed in combination with data from The Basics survey.

Researchers can use the following query to extract self-reported responses for the disability measures from either The Basics or Life Functioning surveys:

Participants who self-reported responses for disability measures from either the Basics or Life Functioning surveys:

SELECT count(distinct person_id) as n_participants
FROM `{dataset}.ds_survey`
WHERE question_concept_id in (903574, 903573, 903575, 903577, 903576, 903578)

In the event that self-reported response data from just the Life Functioning survey is needed, the following query can be used to extract those data:

SELECT count(distinct person_id) as n
FROM `{dataset}.survey_conduct`
where survey_source_concept_id = 705190 #'Life Functioning Survey'

Data Model & Privacy Protection Considerations

All survey codebook variables (e.g., source codes) are deposited into the OMOP Common Data Model’s observation table and stored as concepts in an All of Us specific PPI vocabulary. This vocabulary is both browsable and downloadable via Athena, the online OMOP repository - for a listing of concepts specific to the Life Functioning survey, please see the Athena entry. Survey items appear as recorded - no privacy generalization or suppression is applied.
