“…Finally, overreporting of educational level in questionnaires due to misunderstanding has been reported [ 21 , 22 ]. It has been suggested that this misunderstanding is linked to the question regarding the duration of education (total years of education versus highest obtained degree) [ 21 , 22 ], and misclassification can occur when inferring attainment of a degree from years of schooling.…”

Background: Self-reported data on educational level have been collected for decades in the Tromsø Study, but their validity has yet to be established. Aim: To investigate the completeness and correctness of self-reported educational level in the Tromsø Study, using data from Statistics Norway. In addition, we explored the consequence of using these two data sources on educational trends in cardiometabolic diseases. Methods: We compared self-reported and Statistics Norway-recorded educational level (primary, upper secondary, college/university <4 years, and college/university ⩾4 years) among 20,615 participants in the seventh survey of the Tromsø Study (Tromsø7, 2015–2016). Sensitivity, positive predictive value and weighted kappa were used to measure the validity of self-reported educational level in three age groups (40–52, 53–62, 63–99 years). Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare educational trends in cardiometabolic diseases between self-reported and Statistics Norway-recorded educational level. Results: Sensitivity of self-reported educational level was highest among those with a college/university education of 4 years or more (⩾97% in all age groups and both sexes). Sensitivity for primary educational level ranged from 67% to 92% (all age groups and both sexes). The lowest positive predictive value was observed among women with a college/university education of 4 years or more (29–46%). Weighted kappa was substantial (0.52–0.59) among men and moderate to substantial (0.41–0.51) among women. Educational trends in the risk of cardiometabolic diseases were less pronounced when self-reported educational level was used. Conclusions: Self-reported educational level in Tromsø7 is adequately complete and correct. Self-reported data may produce weaker associations between educational level and cardiometabolic diseases than registry-based data.

“…The questions were validated in the National Comorbidity Survey, which demonstrated that the six measures used captured a high fraction of individuals with disabilities (US Census Bureau, 2019). Following this testing, disability questions were added to the Current Population Survey with slight modifications to further improve their ability to measure disabilities (McMenamin & Hipple, 2014). Our calculations indicate that the prevalence of difficulty due to a disability of adolescents in the ATUS was similar to the prevalence found in adolescents in the final month-in-sample in the Current Population Survey, which suggested the ATUS provided reliable information on youth disabilities.…”

Youth with disabilities may experience unequal patterns of social contact, compared to youth without disabilities. This study uses a nationally representative sample of youth (ages 15–19; N = 6,803) from the American Time Use Survey (2008–2019) to evaluate if and how social contact—defined as time spent with relatives and nonrelatives—differs by youth disability status. Outside the family context, youth with disabilities spent less time with nonrelatives compared to youth without disabilities. Lower social contact with nonrelatives was offset by increased social contact with relatives. Limited social contact outside a youth’s family context has implications for adolescent development. Social contact, and family social contact specifically, may be important forms of developmental support for youth with disabilities.

“…Finally, organizations using NCHPAD-adapted PPSEs or resources measure success through the increased participation of people with disability in community settings, and when applicable or able, improvements in health. At the programmatic level, the identification of participation of people with disabilities involves advising organizations to add one or two questions that serve as disability identifiers, such as the six disability questions used in the American Community Survey [ 38 ].…”

People with disabilities are a health disparity population that face many barriers to health promotion opportunities in their communities. Inclusion in public health initiatives is a critical approach to address the health disparities that people with disabilities experience. The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) is tackling health disparities in the areas of physical activity, healthy nutrition, and healthy weight management. Using the NCHPAD Knowledge Adaptation, Translation, and Scale-up Framework, NCHPAD is systematically facilitating, monitoring, and evaluating inclusive programmatic, policy, systems, and environmental (PPSE) changes in communities and organizations at a local and national level. Through examples we will highlight the importance of adapting knowledge, facilitating uptake, developing strategic partnerships and building community capacity that ultimately creates sustainable, inclusive change.
