On-line database

The statistics are published in StatBank Denmark in following tables:

  • HANDBU01: Disability measures for children and young people aged 0-17 by municipality and gender. Period: 2022–2025. Number of recipients: each child is included once in the category “All Denmark”, even if the child has received several different interventions during the year. From the 2026 publication a child may appear in several municipalities simultaneously if the child receives interventions from more than one municipality, but still only once per municipality. Consequently, the municipality totals cannot be summed to the national total.

  • HANDBU02: Disability measures for children and young people aged 0-17 by municipality and age. Period: 2022–2025. Number of recipients: each child is included once in the category “All Denmark”, even if the child has received several different interventions during the year. From the 2026 publication a child may appear in several municipalities simultaneously if the child receives interventions from more than one municipality, but still only once per municipality. Consequently, the municipality totals cannot be summed to the national total.

  • HANDBU03: Disability measures for children between 0-17 years by province and measure. Period: 2022–2025. Interventions: from this release, there are nine intervention categories instead of eight, as described in section 7.2. Number of recipients: each child is included once in the category “All Denmark”, even if the child has received several different interventions during the year. From the 2026 publication, a child may appear in several regions if the child receives interventions in more than one region, but still only once per region. Consequently, the regional totals cannot be summed to the national total.

Interventions: from this release, there are nine intervention categories instead of eight, as described in section 7.2.
