Following the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (1988) Survey on disability, a survey was carried out in Grampian in 1989, initiated by the Social Work Department of Grampian Regional Council. From 5,042 mail questionnaires a response rate of 83.6% was obtained. Twelve and 88% of those with health disorders were considered as having impairments and disabilities respectively, when the categories of the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (1980) were applied. Thirty-two per cent of survey households considered that they had at least one person with a disability. Of the 1,289 households with disability 23% and 3% had two, and three or more people with a disability. Six disorders accounted for 86.9% of all disability, and asthma accounted for nearly half of all reported disability among Grampian's population under 16 years of age. The nature and extent of disability was found to vary considerably within Grampian.
继人口普查与调查办公室（1988年）的残疾调查之后，1989年格兰扁地区议会社会工作部发起了一项在格兰扁地区进行的调查。从5042份邮寄问卷中获得了83.6%的回复率。当应用世界卫生组织《国际损伤、残疾和残障分类》（1980年）的类别时，患有健康问题的人中有12%和88%分别被视为有损伤和残疾。32%的被调查家庭认为他们家中至少有一人有残疾。在1289个有残疾的家庭中，23%和3%的家庭分别有两名以及三名或更多残疾人士。六种疾病占所有残疾情况的86.9%，哮喘占格兰扁地区16岁以下人口中所有报告残疾情况的近一半。研究发现，格兰扁地区内残疾的性质和程度差异很大。
