====== Respiratory problems (ELON <18) ======


The "Europees Luchtwegonderzoek Nederland III short questionnaire" (ELON III) is the Dutch version of the [[https://www.ecrhs.org/|European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS)]].\\ 
The short survey, together with the long version, has been used since 1991 as the standard questionnaire for epidemiological studies on respiratory health.\\
In [[start|Lifelines]], a subsection of the ELON was asked to adolescents ([[sections|section]]: [[Children & Adolescents]]).\\
Note that Lifelines also assessed the [[respiratory_problems_elon|ELON in adults]] and general [[respiration_18|respiration in children and adolescents]] .

The original ELON is a 16-item questionnaire with 4 aims.\\ 
Three of these original aims were covered independently from the ELON in Lifelines:
  * collect basic information regarding [[alcohol_drugs_smoking_18|smoking status]];
  * confirm length of time each person has lived at their current [[environment_18|address]].
  * assessment of who is taking [[medication_18|medication]] related to respiratory diseases.

The following aim was reached using the ELON: 
  * basic health information regarding respiratory status;
