Which of the following is NOT one of the domains measured by WHODAS 2.0?

Self-care
Getting around
Cognitive function
Participation with society

The correct answer is: Cognitive function

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) is designed to measure health and disability across various domains. Among the primary domains assessed by WHODAS 2.0 are Self-care, Getting around (mobility), and Participation in society, which examines the extent of individual engagement in various social activities and community life. Cognitive function refers to mental processes like learning, memory, perception, and reasoning, which are critical aspects of overall health. However, WHODAS 2.0 explicitly measures functional disability in daily activities rather than cognitive processing as a standalone domain. The focus is more on how health conditions affect a person's ability to function in different life areas rather than providing a detailed assessment of cognitive abilities themselves. Thus, cognitive function is not regarded as one of the specified domains within the WHODAS 2.0 framework.
