Protocol - Childcare Arrangements - Childcare setting, birth to 5 years

Description

An interview administered questionnaire with 24 questions. For use with mothers of children aged birth to 5 years.

Specific Instructions

NICHD 21940-Questionnaire. The items are on pages 92-97 (Part 5 Child Care), 110-114 (Part 4 Current Care) and 171 (My Child Care).

While the protocol text uses the word “Baby” the PhenX Working Group recommends substituting the word “Child” when appropriate depending on age.

The Working Group also suggests this could be easily modified to be used as a stand-alone (and not follow-up) interview by removing the “since we talked” language throughout. Although the original instrument is intended to be completed by the mother, the working group suggests if a research wanted to use caregivers (e.g., father, legal guardian) the form could be updated accordingly.

The abbreviation Arr = Arrangement. The questionnaire allows for up to 3 arrangements for each question. Researchers may add columns for additional arrangements if necessary.
