Depending on the participants age, questionnaire may be completed by participant or parent/caregiver as appropriate. Items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale: 0=never a problem; 1=almost never a problem; 2=sometimes a problem; 3=often a problem; and 4=almost always a problem). All Scores were transformed on a total scale from 0-100 where, 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Higher scores indicating better health status.
