Disabilities in Mafraq District in Jordan were identified using active case detection. The identified disabilities were characterized by type, sex and age of the disabled as well as other variables pertaining to the reproductive history of their mothers and certain socioeconomic variables pertaining to their families. The results indicated an unmet need regarding services addressing the disabled and that they belong to poor families with high prevalence of illiteracy. The results also showed that the prevalence of consanguineous marriages as well as pregnancy at the two extremes of women's reproductive life is associated with congenital disability. The results were availed to the responsible authorities to facilitate embarking on Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) in the district.
