abstract="A survey on the mobility of persons who need nursing is used to show that, by integrating and newly processing data from previous surveys, it is possible to fill gaps in research without making new surveys. The most important results of an attempt to thus integrate and newly process data from two different surveys are discussed and interpreted. The special methodological and conceptual problems of doing empirical research on the handicapped are discussed, and the results of empirical surveys designed to overcome these problems are explained. The mobility of persons who need nursing is compared with the average mobility of the population as a whole as well as with a control group that has a similar sociodemographic structure. This method proved to be useful for determining the quantitative characteristics of the mobility deficit in the target group studied. Finally, the study is compared with other surveys, and areas in which research gaps still exist are identified.<p />",
