The Disability, Personal Autonomy and Dependency Situations Survey 2020 (EDAD 2020) is a macro-survey aimed at all people aged 2 and over who reside in family homes throughout the national territory. Its general objective is to meet the demand for information from the Public Administrations and numerous users such as the organizations from the Third Sector of Social Action, providing a statistical base in the creation of policies for people with disabilities that are aimed at increasing personal autonomy and avoiding situations of dependency.

Four macro-surveys have been carried out: the Survey on Disabilities, Impairment and Handicaps in 1986, the Survey on Disabilities, Impairment and Health Status in 1999 and the Survey on Disability, Personal Autonomy and Dependency Situations in 2008 and 2020.
