This score is derived from the individual [[#ADL Components]] collected following general collection instructions in [[ADL General Collection Information]] and component-specific criteria defined on the individual component pages listed below.


This score is derived from the individual ADL entries collected under [[ADL General Collection Information]]

=== What we collect ===
=== What we collect ===
We collect the following components:
==== ADL components ====
* [[ADL Bathing]]
see infobox
* [[ADL Dressing]]
* [[ADL Toiletting]]
* [[ADL Transfering]]
* [[ADL Continence]]
* [[ADL Feeding]]


=== Scoring ===
==== ADL component scores ====
The individual component fields are stored as their full words rather than scores, e.g. "ADL_Bathing" might have a value of "unassisted". Filling of the fields is driven by [[S_ADLOptions table]] which includes a "sorter" column to make the options show in the desired order in dropdowns, and an "ADL_Score" column that contains the score for the element.
For each of the [[#ADL Components]] the individual component fields are stored as their full words rather than scores. [[s_ADLOptions table]] stores the corresponding scores used in the ADL score or the [[ALERT Scale]] as follows:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|+ For criteria see the pages of the individual elements linked above
|-
! Option !! ADL_Score !! [[ALERT Scale|ALERT_Score]] !! Explanation
|-
| Major || 6 || 6 || major assistance
|-
| Minor || 3 || 3 || minor assistance
|-
| Unassisted || 1 || 0 || unassisted / independent
|}


Performance of each of the activities is evaluated as unassisted (0 points), minor assistance (3 points), or major assistance (6 points).
==== Deviation from Katz's definition ====
This deviates from the original scoring in Katz' paper:
* they only used 2 options
* they assigned the higher score to the unassisted


=== Combined ADL Score ===
The ADL Score is the sum of points of all the six activities.  
The ADL Score is the sum of points of all the six activities.
