| Popis: | ICCHP-AAATE 2022 Open Access Compendium "Assistive Technology, Accessibility and (e)Inclusion" Part II / Petz, Andrea ; Hoogerwerf, Evert-Jan ; Mavrou, Katerina, Seite 95-100 The present contribution reports on the preliminary results from the implementation of the rapid Assistive Technology Assessment (rATA) con in Italy. The target population of the survey included residents in Italy aged 0+. The interviews have been conducted through the two mixed interview techniques: CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing), and CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing). In total, 10170 individual responses (52,2% females; 47,8% males) were collected in the period June-September 2021. Prevalence of AT use resulted 58% of the total sample. Only 6,9% of the total population reported an unmet AT need. No differences were observed for what concerns the use of AT according to gender or living conditions (i.e., rural vs. urban). The majority of AT users resulted at least satisfied with their products (83,6%), less so with assessment and training (58,3%) and maintenance (37,8%) services. On the ground of the present results, actions will be undertaken in Italy to promote a continuous collection of data on AT access and quality to ensure that AT systems across the country are capable of maintaining high standards of AT provision over time. |
