Parent and Child Questionnaire

Many thanks for offering to assist with our study! The study is open to parents (main carers) and their children, aged between 7 and 11 years. The questionnaire is about your own eating behaviour, your child’s eating behaviour, the way you encourage your child to eat and your experiences in close relationships. There are also a few questions for your child to answer about his or her relationships with other children. Answering all the questions typically takes 30 minutes. Everyone who completes the questionnaire will be entered into a prize draw to win £50!

  1. Please note that you will be asked to provide height and weight information for you and your child. Please ensure that this is as accurate and up-to-date as possible. You may wish to weigh yourself and your child just before you begin completing the questionnaire. Please ensure that height and weight measurements are taken without shoes and heavy clothing.
  2. Please ensure that the child who is participating with you is aged between 7 and 11 years, and that only one child participates per family.
  3. It is best to complete the questionnaire at a quiet time when you are unlikely to be disturbed. The majority of the questions are to be completed by you, the parent. A small number of questions are to be completed by your child.
  4. Your child’s part of the questionnaire may be completed separately if that is most convenient. You will be asked to provide your email address so that we can match up your answers with your child’s answers.
  5. All answers are confidential.
  6. Please have cookies enabled on your browser.
  7. Please DO NOT use the 'back' button in your browser.
