MEASURE: Family Health History

This measure of 31 questions is based on the Brief Screening for Family Psychiatric History: The Family Psychiatric History – Parents (2000). Parents are asked to answer “Yes,” “No” or “Don’t Know” to questions about their mental health history, including psycho-pathological features during the course of their own lifetime and their marital partner’s lifetime.
