Abstract

This chapter sets out the core questionnaires used in the IDEFICS and I. Family studies. Since the IDEFICS study looked at younger children, it used a single questionnaire which was filled out by the parents. This focussed mainly on the child but also included some questions about the family, such as socioeconomic status. The I.Family study looked at the whole family, including children who were now old enough to answer questions on their own behalf. It therefore used a wider range of questionnaires, which this chapter outlines.
