Given that most attitude questionnaires do not include items that assess behavioural features, we generated some of these and extracted others from the FCQ.
Perhaps prospective directors should be given a brief questionnaire: Do you like opera?
Questions relevant to this study included, "When was the last time your child fell ill?" and "When your child was last ill where did you seek care?" In contrast to most other household surveys, the questionnaire did not impose a specific recall period on the respondent.
Most women completing the follow-up questionnaire did so between 6 and 7 weeks after their initial clinic visit (time from clinic appointment to completion of second questionnaire: median=44 days; interquartile range=40 52 days).
However, those who did and did not receive/fill in the questionnaire did not differ from each other in most of the measured variables.
Most questionnaires (94%) were returned before birth.
Most questionnaires were fully completed.
The authors acknowledged that the study was not a randomized trial, that the questionnaire did not assess duration of aspirin use, and that the participants were all postmenopausal women, most of whom were white.
Most mothers completed the questionnaire in the 3rd trimester and the range of gestational age for completing the questionnaire did not differ between cryptorchid and normal boys.
In most studies, the actual questionnaire structure and/or questionnaire items were not specified and the only apparent fact was that the questionnaire did or did not focus on DSs.
