    FAMILY QUALITY OF LIFE

    Thank you for agreeing to complete this survey. The survey is about
    how you feel about your life together as a family. We will use what we
    learn from families to inform policy makers and service providers for
    children and families.

    Your “family” may include many people – mother, father, partners,


    children, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.

    For this survey, please consider your family as those people

    9 Who think of themselves as part of your family (even though they


    may or may not be related by blood or marriage), and

    9 Who support and care for each other on a regular basis.

    For this survey, please DO NOT think about relatives (extended family)
    who are only involved with your family every once in a while. Please
    think about your family life over the past 12 months.

    The items below are things that hundreds of families have said are
    important for a good family quality of life. We want to know how
    Satisfied you are with these things in your family. Please check the
    boxes on the following pages that reflect your level of satisfaction with
    each item.

    9 Checking the first square means you are very dissatisfied.

    9 Checking the fifth square means you are very satisfied.

    Thank you so much for sharing your opinion with us!
