The goal of the research was to study the awareness and attitudes of the Georgian population towards people with disabilities.
To achieve this, we used a quantitative research method; namely, a survey. The study was conducted across 11 regions of Georgia. The respondents were selected by a random sampling. A total of 5,000 interviews were conducted as part of the survey which was distributed according to the regions of Georgia.
A questionnaire consisting of several blocks was developed in order to study the awareness and the attitudes about people with disabilities.
In order to develop a comprehensive questionnaire, focus groups were organized in four regions of Georgia (Tbilisi, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Imereti, Adjara) with disabled persons. This approach made it possible for the questionnaire to cover as much information as possible about the persons with disabilities in terms of both awareness and attitudes.
